Belmont Memorial
The memorial is fairly new by most standards. It consists of a remembrance walkway with engraved stones dedicated to local heroes who have served in the Canadian Forces. The pavement stones themselves tell a story of history and service. At the head of the memorial is a stone with sentimental words and a flag painted onto it. Behind the stone and on higher ground is a stylized poppy bounded by a maple leaf. I found this to be a touching memorial for a small town, and good to see that even in modern times they still choose to remember.
