Visitors' Centre Newfoundland Memorial Park
|
The Visitors' Centre was opened on 1 July 2001. The displays within the Centre focus on the historical and social situation of Newfoundland at the start of the 20th century. It covers the history of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment from when it was formed in 1914 to the end of the First World War. There is a Memorial Room in the Centre with a copy of the Newfoundland Book of Remembrance. A number of personalities who served with the Regiment are portrayed along with other memorabilia and short video clips.
Free guided tours around the memorial park are provided by Canadian students trained and sponsored by Veteran Affairs Canada.
