Although Toronto held a plaque unveiling ceremony to mark the opening of Coronation Park in August , the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to Canada in provided an opportunity to hold an official dedication ceremony for the park.
Courtesy of the City of Toronto Archives. Sir William Mulock Chief Justice of Ontario, — had a great affection for trees, claiming to have planted , on his estate near Newmarket. The men and women of this organization worked to create a more environmentally-friendly world. They rallied against local environmental threats, including clear-cutting in Northern Ontario, the destruction of natural spaces due to urban growth, and even the cutting down of trees for Christmas celebrations.

On the monument is a plaque that reads "A tribute to all Canadians at home and overseas who served their nation with courage, hope and sacrifice during World War II. The words "sacrifice" and "hope" can also be found on the memorial as well as the word for peace in numerous languages.
