This is a memorial plaque to all the war veterens, it is located in a park where the Rideau Veterens home used to be, now caled Freedom Private. The Rideau Veterans home was built in 1946 and was meant to be a short term stay facility where veterans would undergo rehab treatment in order to integrate into the community. It turned into a home where the vets lived for many years. It closed in 1995 and this park was created and dedicated to all Canadian Vets. The tree is a 300 year old Burr Oak. Stones from the home's fireplace were used to create the base that holds the panel. Take a minute to think of all the vets.
