Cenotaph plans

The current site of the Kars Cenotaph has become increasingly unsafe for Remembrance Day services. Over the past several years at on the Sunday before Remembrance Day, more members of the community have been attending the service and the spectators have been blocking one lane of Rideau Valley Drive South. In addition, the construction of the new wing of the Rideau Valley Middle School and the eventual demolition of the Kars Public School has made it necessary to relocate the Cenotaph. As in most villages, towns and cities across Canada the cenotaph site is a centre point of the community. The Cenotaph Relocation Committee intends to make just such a site in Kars. A site not only the community can be proud of, but also a site the community can take pride in creating.

This will be done in cooperation with the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, the Manotick Legion, our City Councillor and the Community.
