Cenotaph, Regina

Cenotaph, Regina

The Cenotaph, in Regina, Saskatchewan, was built in honour Regina's fallen heroes of World War I. In 1925, a design competition was held for the construction of the Cenotaph.

The winning architect was R.W.G. Heughan of Ross & Macdonald, Montreal, who designed the Cenotaph with the assistance of F.H. Portnall, a Regina-based architect. The Cenotaph is made from Stanstead grey granite. The inscription at the top reads: "To the Glory of God and the immortal memory of the citizens of Regina who gave their lives in the great war, 1914-1919."

The cenotaph replaced the fountain that honoured Nicholas Flood Davin, which had stood in Victoria Park since 1908. The Cenotaph was unveiled on November 11, 1926.

A rededication was held in 1990 to honour those Regina citizens who served in World War II and the Korean War and inscription was added to the monument.
