Designing the West Carleton War Memorial
Monday, August 21, 2017 at 7 pm
"A shadow falls across the names of the fallen, a Morse Code message calls us to remember."
Pinhey's Point Foundation's guest speaker is Malcolm Wildeboer, a partner with Vandenberg & Wildeboer Architects in South March. He brings to light layers of thought and design behind the making of this new community memorial in Carp. The March Township honour rolls from the two World Wars will also be on view.

This war memorial is truly impressive: it elicits an immediate emotional response even when seen only online. I cannot guess at the cost of creating such a memorial, but obviously the people of Carp / West Carlton chose to honour their fallen with a truly moving and inspirational memorial. If only Gravenhurst had done the same. A "newly revised" memorial is being unveiled here this fall, and it will be a sad statement on the value we place on the fallen of Gravenhurst, West Gravenhurst, Morrison Township, Muskoka Township, and Ryde Township which comprise the present Town of Gravenhurst. What a pity!
