100th Anniversary of Armistice Tree

On the corner of the Veterans Section (Section 27), stands a large and historic tree. This tree was at the end of its life cycle, ready to be cut down. This tree is a commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of Armistice. It has three maple leafs, each one representing a branch of the Canadian Armed Forces, fifty-eight poppies representing each a battle honour received by our forces during WWI and a stack of Brodie helmets, the only head protection for our brave soldiers.
