Past and Present ...

Tucked at the end of the street where the Cenotaph and the Memorial to the 12th Manitoba Dragoons sits, stands the cairn to the homesteaders of Minnedosa and District.

Topped with an old plough, the river rocks and the assorted pounding stones connect our past and our present as a reminder that the only way to ensure the future is through co-operation, vision and hard work.

Maybe we'll have the courage to heed these lessons before cairns, memorials and momuments are the only things left to see in town.
