Cenotaph – City of Westmount.

“Lest we forget” – the phrase is from the poem “Recessional” by Rudyard Kipling.

A beautiful relief on the cenotaph.

“Unveiled on November 14, 1922, the Cenotaph stands in front of City Hall, in a small triangular park designated Garden Point, and is the work of George Hill. It is a tribute to the sacrifice of Westmount citizens who died on the field of honour during the First World War.

After the Second World War, Percy Nobbs landscaped its surroundings, adding a platform and a parapet to give more relief to the monument.

The first Westmount Post Office was housed for some time in the small brick house located on the north side of Côte-Saint-Antoine Road, opposite Garden Point.”

From Wikipedia:

“The school was founded in 1908 by (an) Englishman Captain Algernon Lucas. It is named after Selwyn College, University of Cambridge, which Lucas attended.”

Tuition fees for attending Selwyn as of the 2014- 2015 school year range from $16,960 – $20,160 plus “other fees”.
