The Oliver War Memorial is approximately 8 feet in height and made of natural stone standing on a two tier plinth. It was constructed in 1948, in memory of the Veterans of World War I, World War II. It was built by members of the South Okanagan Land Project and the plaques were supplied by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 97.
