Legion Beach

Branch 76 Qualicum Beach of The Royal Canadian Legion is one of the few, perhaps the only Legion Branch in Canada that has three distinctive outdoor cenotaphs, plus an indoor portable cenotaph at which Remembrance Day memorial services are held to recognize and honour those who have fallen in the various wars and peacekeeping engagements in which Canada has been involved.The first Branch 76 cenotaph was constructed at the foot of Memorial Avenue from beach stones gathered and assembled by branch members, on the beach side of Highway 19A. Dedication was held on May 24, 1949 and the first Armistice Day service at that location took place on November 11, 1949.
