Monument commémoratif d’Elliot Lake
Érigé en 1998 par la filiale no 561 de la Légion royale canadienne, ce mémorial est dédié à ceux qui sont morts durant les Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales, la guerre de Corée et les missions de maintien de la paix des Nations Unies. Ce monument commémoratif a été inauguré de nouveau en 2007 après avoir été actualisé pour inclure les opérations en Afghanistan.
Le cairn d’Elliot Lake se trouvait à cet endroit avant d’être remplacé en 1998 par ce monument commémoratif. Un canon antiaérien de 20 mm s’y trouve également.
