The Soldiers' Tower

On January 21, 1921, the Memorial Committee of the University of Toronto Alumni Association wrote a letter appealing for funds to build a wartime memorial. The result was the Soldiers' Tower, a lasting monument to those members of the U of T community who sacrificed their lives for freedom. The names of those who lost their lives in service are carved in the stone walls of the archway and the adjacent screen of the tower.

Over the years, the elements have taken their toll on the tower and it is now in great need of maintenance, upkeep and improvements. The university is seeking to restore the tower to its former glory, ensuring that it will continue to convey a message of vigilance and remembrance.
