Norfolk set to celebrate a century of remembrance at the Carillon Tower
After more than 200 residents of their small farming community were killed in the First World War, the people of Norfolk County debated how to best memorialize the fallen. A committee considered building something 'useful or necessary,' like a school, hospital or community hall. Instead, they raised enough money to put up an 18-metre limestone clock tower near the Simcoe high school on Norfolk Street where so many of the dead had been recent graduates. The tower stands 18 metres tall and is made of limestone from a quarry in Hagersville. Inside the tower would go a carillon, a musical instrument whose stately bells would inspire remembrance with each tolling of the hour. A century later, the carillon remains the site of Simcoe's Remembrance Day ceremony and other special events. The tower still offers thanks to the sons and daughters of Norfolk who bravely crossed the seas and never returned from the battlefield. 'The Carillon Tower stands as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and community spirit,' Norfolk County Mayor Amy Martin said in a statement. The Carillon Tower, Norfolk County's cenotaph, sits in a picturesque spot near the Lynn River in Simcoe, steps from Simcoe Composite School. 'As it turns 100, we reflect on its legacy and the values it represents.' On June 17 — exactly 100 years since a crowd of thousands gathered for the dedication of the county's new war memorial in 1925 — a ceremony at 1 p.m. will mark the carillon's centenary, following a downtown parade complete with bagpipes, colour guards, and local veterans and service members. Immortalized on bronze plaques affixed to the tower's base are the names of 366 Norfolk residents who died in service of their country. The most recent addition is Petty Officer Craig Blake, a bomb disposal expert who was killed in Afghanistan in 2010. The Canadian flag is framed by the Carillon Tower in Simcoe. A choir from Blake's alma mater, West Lynn Public School in Simcoe, will sing a hymn at the centennial, with lyrics adapted from the 1925 carillon dedication speech. Blake's mother, Judy Klages, will place a memorial wreath, followed by descendants of the original Silver Cross Mothers who unveiled the plaques in 1925 and 1948. Those descendants will include Arthur Quanbury, grandson of Lydia Quanbury, who lost two of her sons in the First World War. 'Mr. Quanbury will be travelling from Manitoba specifically to participate in the service,' said James Christison, curator of the Waterford Heritage and Agricultural Museum, who is on the Carillon 100 organizing committee. 'The rededication ceremony is a chance to connect today's community with those who stood here a century ago,' Christison added. 'It's about continuity, pride and our pledge to never forget.' News of the centennial has reached Queen's Park, where a display in the west wing of the Ontario Legislature highlights the Carillon Tower. The display — which includes photos, pamphlets, a painting and other artifacts — 'pays fitting tribute to those of our county who bravely served Canada,' Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Bobbi Ann Brady said in a statement. A display at Queen's Park tells the story of Norfolk County's cenotaph, the Carillon Tower, unveiled in Simcoe 100 years ago. 'And much like today, the community came together to figure out a way to cover costs when construction expenses exceeded the initial budget,' Brady continued. 'Now, Queen's Park politicians, staff and visitors can look and learn about the sacrifice of our county and the honour we dutifully pay them.' The original dedication address makes it clear the tower was not built to gladden hearts. 'It is hoped,' the 1925 address reads, 'that the tower in its beauty, and the bells with their music, will ever recall to all who pass the sacrifice of our soldiers who left the world behind in answer to the call of duty.'
