Cenotaph Monogrammed Paver Stones
The Port Hope Cenotaph stands in the Municipality’s Memorial Park on Queen Street.
The revitalization of the Port Hope Cenotaph will continue to support the work of recognizing and honouring Veterans and current Armed Forces members. The Port Hope Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion was the main supporter of the revitalization of the Cenotaph, and the Municipality worked closely with them to complete this project.
The Municipality of Port Hope in partnership with the Legion Branch #30 are excited to launch a paver program for those that want to contribute to the project.

Avenue of Heroes - Veterans Banner Program
The Rotary Club of Port Hope and the Municipality of Port Hope are pleased to announce the Avenue of Heroes Veterans Banner Program.

The banner program is free to participate in, although donations are much appreciated to offset the cost of the banner and brackets, which is $250.
Donations are only accepted through the Rotary Club of Port Hope.
