The Sarnia War Remembrance Project

by Tom Slater

The Sarnia War Remembrance Project is a comprehensive record of the contributions and sacrifices Sarnia and area citizens made during times of war. The project, an entirely volunteer endeavour by its author Tom Slater, was initiated in 2012 when Slater discovered that no formal record existed of Sarnia's fallen soldiers. After years of research, revisions and updates, this third and final edition was completed in 2020. The City of Sarnia, Bluewater Power Group of Companies, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #62, and the Sarnia Historical Society provided financial support to print copies of the two-volume set that have been donated throughout the Sarnia-Lambton community. Slater's hope is that the courage, fortitude and sacrifices of the veterans, the fallen and their families will be forever commemorated and remembered.
