The First World War plaque was created by Alfred Howell, head of the art and sculpture department of the Toronto Technical School, and unveiled at a ceremony on 13 November 1921. Plaques on the walls of the sanctuary commemorate parishioners who were killed during service in the First World War and Second World War. A tribute parade was performed by members of the Fort Garry Horse Association 10th Armoured Regiment, along with cadets and the regiments’ band. Also present at the event was Brigadier M.

Carruthers (former FGH Chaplain and Major). Bingham (former FGH Commanding Officer) and dedicated by Reverend C. The plaques were unveiled on 22 June 1947 by Lieutenant Colonel R. Located on the interior south wall of the sanctuary are two bronze plaques commemorating the members of the Fort Garry Horse (FGH) who died in service of their country during the First and Second World Wars.

In 1990, a commemorative plaque was erected on its grounds by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Set within a landscaped churchyard, Holy Trinity is a landmark in the heart of Winnipeg and a municipally-designated historic site. This church is the fourth to serve the parish since its incorporation in 1868. The irregular outline, with attached parish hall and bell tower, recalls English parish churches. It displays a creative interpretation of the cruciform plan and a lively use of motifs such as dormer clerestory windows, buttresses, finials and hammer beam ceiling. Wheeler, this picturesque limestone structure is a fine example of the High Victorian Gothic style.
