Peace Memorial
On
June 12, 1930 this Peace Memorial was presented to the people of Canada
by Imperial Potentate, Noble Leo V. Youngworth on behalf of the 600,000
of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine to commemorate
the peaceful relationships existing for over a century between Canada and
the United States. This gift was received by Noble the Honourable
George S. Henry Potentate of Rameses Shrine Temple Toronto, representing
the citizens of Canada. On August 20, 1958 the surrounding garden
and fountain, created by the Toronto Parks Department, was officially opened
and the Memorial was re-dedicated to the cause of peace by Noble the Right
Honourable John G. Diefenbaker, P.C., Prime Minister of Canada.
