About Our Auction

We are hosting this auction in an effort to raise money to purchase two new memorial plaques for the Swift Current Cenotaph (Memorial Park). One plaque will be dedicated to those who served and gave their lives during Canada Peacekeeping operations that have taken place since the end of the Korean War till the present. The second plaque will be dedicated to those who served and gave their lives during Canada's Mission in Afghanistan (2001-2014). Both plaques will be 11" X 8". The new plaques will be installed on the west side of the cenotaph. Our fundraising goal is to raise $1000.00 to cover the cost of both plaques with a little bit of leeway. The estimated cost of each plaque is roughly $365.00. If we exceed this goal, any left over money will go into Legion programs to help our local veterans.
