Rockcliffe Remembers Plaque

On a wall in the Rockcliffe Park Public Library on the southeast corner of Buena Vista Road and Springfield Road a plaque commemorates the end of World War II and the participation of the residents of Rockcliffe Park Village.

ROCKCLIFFE REMEMBERS

This plaque commemorates the 50th anniversary of the end of the second world war. More especially, it respects and honours those men and women who served in this war and who were registered residents of the Village of Rockcliffe Park during the war.

Nearly twenty percent of the residents of the Village served in this war, which was nearly twice the Canadian average.

ROCKCLIFFE SE SOUVIENT

Cette plaque commémore le 50e anniversaire de la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale. En particulier, elle rend hommage aux hommes et aux femmes qui ont servi pendant cette guerre et qui comptaient parmi les citoyens inscrits du village de Rockcliffe Park durant la guerre.

Près de vingt pour cent de citoyens du village ont servi pendant cette guerre, soit preque deux fois la moyenne pour l'ensemble du Canada.

IN HOMAGE
(W.W.II)

The few were valiant,

But many were the few

Who amongst their brethren

Gathered some one in five

To journey to join the fray.

Some lost their way,

Some are with us still,

But none are forgotten

Nor remain unknown

As Rockcliffe remembers,

Today, - and tomorrow.

Rockcliffe Pavilion

The Rockcliffe Pavilion, recognized as a Federal Heritage Building, stands at a high point overlooking the Ottawa River, on the south side of Rockcliffe Driveway, in Rockcliffe Park.

The Rockcliffe Pavilion was constructed in the Arts and Crafts style, in 1917 by the Ottawa Improvement Commission, which was created by federal statute that became law in August, 1899 and replaced by the National Capital Commission in 1959. The Government of Canada recognized the Rockcliffe Pavilion as a Federal Heritage Building on October 27, 1994. The property, owned by the City of Ottawa until 1995, had its titles transferred to the National Capital Commission. At that time the pavilion was in very poor and much deteriorated condition. The National Capital Commission began restoration of the pavilion in 1997. Original materials and colour palettes were identified from historical studies and site investigations. The work was completed in 1998.
