Please join us in the Commemoration and Re-dedication of the Next-of-Kin Memorial Avenue, on its 100th Anniversary. 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Sunday, June the 18th, 2023 at Woodlawn Cemetery. This historic avenue in Woodlawn Cemetery serves as a living memorial to those who lost their lives in the Great War of 1914-1918 and the continued tradition of planting and by name dedicating trees. The original 266 trees were planted in 1923 and now there are over 1,200 dedicated to military members with a connection to Saskatoon.

Immediately following, please join us for Saskatoon’s Annual Citizens’ Decoration Day Service, with ceremonies to follow, at the Soldiers’ Memorial Cairn.

As part of this years Decoration Day Service three new commemorative pedestals will be unveiled recognizing the service of our Canadian Armed Forces members for

“NATO Operations, UNITED NATIONS OPERATIONS and the AFGHANISTAN WAR.”

All branch members, their families and the public are welcome to this historic event commemorating our generations of military members.

This is an outdoor event with attendees able to view all the activities from designated standing areas.

Parking will be designated in specific areas of the cemetery close to the event sites with no parking on Memorial Avenue itself. Attendees are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes before the event to have adequate time to park and walk the short distance to event locations. Woodlawn Cemetery can be accessed through the main entrance at 33rd street upon arrival. Cars will be directed to the 39th street exit after the event.
