Commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the fire of August 10, 1921.
Opening: June 6, 2021

With strong northeasterly winds, the fire quickly swept through the heart of downtown Aylmer, destroying homes and businesses along a two-block wide, one-mile long diagonal strip. Over 700 people were left homeless. Damage were estimated at $750,000.

The Hull and Ottawa Fire Departments came to help the Aylmer Volunteer Fire Brigade but were unable to deal with the flames.
