WHEREAS the Carillon Tower serves as the Norfolk County War Memorial and is a designated structure under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O 1990, c. O. 18, through By-Law 82-44 of the former Corporation of the Town of Simcoe, AND WHEREAS The Heritage Advisory Committee recognizes that the Carillon Tower was built to honour and remember the sacrifices of those who fought for our freedom and to ensure the community has a place where people can gather to remember and honour Norfolk’s 361 men and women who were killed in conflicts, AND WHEREAS the designation report reads: “Upon the occasion of the dedication of the Tower and bells and the unveiling of the tablets, it should be made clear that in the minds of those who have had an active part in bringing about of the completion of the Memorial there has never been an object other than to endeavour to honour fittingly the memory of the men of Norfolk and the lads of the High School, who while yet their hearts beat strong and their blood was warm, left the world behind, because they heard the call of duty. The Memorial might have been a school, or a hospital, or a community hall, or a rink, or a bridge or a score of other things useful or necessary. It is none of these things, because it is not built for what it will bring of joy, or pleasure or benefit to those who are left, but because the Tower is in its permanency and the bells with their music will be a thing of beauty and inspiration for this and future generations to
