Kings Square

In 1909, The Carlton Cornet Band presented the King Edward VII Memorial Bandstand in King Square to the people of Saint John. The Duke of Connaught unveiled the tablet on the side of the King Square bandstand which was dedicated to his brother the King, the only such memorial in Canada.

In the summer the square surrounding the bandstand and fountain is a popular spot for families and tourists sitting and enjoying this magnificent green spot in the heart of Saint John.

Ominously resembling a Grim Reaper, peering down upon passers by, this foreboding figure is actually the lower portion of the Cenotaph located in the south end of Kings Square. The War Memorial was erected in loving memory of those who lost their lives in the Great War, World War II, and in Korea. Crafted by renown Canadian artisan Alfred Howell in 1925.
