Through this committee, you can help maintain and protect the Soldiers’ Tower, a 143-ft. tall stone monument to the sacrifices of these servicemen and -women. A Memorial Room inside features medals, photos and mementos of the men and women who served for their country.

The Soldiers’ Tower is a Toronto landmark and is the site of one of the city’s best-attended Remembrance Day ceremonies, which you’ll have the opportunity to plan. During the ceremony, the tower’s impressive carillon of 51 bells ring out to create a poignant memorial for the fallen soldiers.
