Grimsby 1812 Bicentennial Flagpole
We dedicate this flagpole to the
Grimsby 1812 Bicentennial peace garden
in honour of the "Encounter at the Forty"
at this site on June 8, 1813, a turning point in
the War of 1812 by the United States and the British.
Also, to celebrate 200 years of peace and
prosperity that has existed between
Canada and the United States.
Marker is on Elizabeth Street north of Lakeside Drive when traveling north.
