—Remembering Our Historic Past / Nous souvenant de notre passé historique —

This once marshy area was transformed into a picturesque space in 1897, as trees, flower gardens, and pathways were landscaped to create a "public pleasure ground". The area was named Victoria Park in honour of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, which took place that same year. In 1967, to mark the year of the Centennial of Confederation, the Harvard Trainer Memorial was placed in Victoria Park to honour those who died during the war, who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Today, visitors can still enjoy all the wonderful features that are offered in Victoria Park, from wading pools, play structures, walking paths, picnic areas and more.
——————————————

Cet endroit autrefois marécageux a été transformé en un espace pittoresque en 1897, alors qu'un aménagement paysager d'arbes, fleurs, jardins et sentiers a créé un « terrain pour l'agrément du public ». L'endroit a été nommé parc Victoria en l'honneur du jubilé de diamant de la Reine Victoria, qui avait lieu la même année. En 1967, pour marquer l'année du centenaire de la Confédération, le « Harvard Trainer Memorial » a été placé au parc Victoria afin d'honorer ceux qui étaient décédés pendant la guerre, ceux qui avaient servi avec l'Aviation royale du Canada. Aujourd'hui,



les visiteurs peuvent encore jouir des merveilleuses caractéristiques qui sont offertes au parc Victoria, des barboteuses, structures de jeux, sentiers pédestres, aires de pique-nique et davantage.
