On the side facing towards the current Fire/Life Safety Building, there are two plaques, the top one mentions the Township of Chinguacousy (1821 – 1973) and the bottom one talks about the creation of the City of Brampton on January 1, 1974. These plaques have the names that most people would recognize today, not for their public service but for the streets, roads and buildings that are named after them. The square in front of the memorial was a large concrete pad but the ravages of time took their toll on the concrete. In 2017-2018, the City of Brampton in cooperation with Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 609 Bramalea to replace the concrete pad and add in new design elements and to make the memorial accessible.

The changes involved replacing and enlarging the concrete for the plaza to accommodate larger Remembrance Day Services and also add some furniture to enable this area to be much more functional throughout the year. The concrete pad consists of three colour schemes depicting the different Cadet Corps that exist in Brampton, there is a sandy colour for the Army Cadets, a blue-grey for the Sea Cadets and there is a black strip to the front of the column that intersects the square and this is for the Air Cadets. There are four large placards in the back that have the emblems of three types of cadet corps and the Royal Canadian Legion. This is to honour the relationship between the Legion and the Cadet Corps.
