The Saskatchewan Geo-Memorial Project is a Government of Saskatchewan initiative that names landmarks after residents who have died in service of Saskatchewan or Canada. Although the program originally concerned itself with casualties from World War II (1938 - 1945), it has been extended to include casualties from World War I (1914 - 1918), Merchant Conflicts, the Korean War (1950 - 1953), sanctioned United Nations Missions, the War in Afghanistan (2001 - 2014), and incidents involving Police Officers and Emergency Responders. Geo-Memorials are also used to honour people who have made important contributions to the Province of Saskatchewan. Almost 4000 residents are honoured at the present time.
