Sir Isaac Brock Plaque. How the event came about.
The bronze plaque was unveiled and dedicated on October 12, 2012 honouring the establishment of a social/cultural relationship between St. Peter Port, Guernsey where Sir Isaac Brock was born and Queenston where he died. The monument has wording tracing the key aspects of Brock's life and the link between Queenston village and St. Peter Port. On the plaque are the Arms of Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Arms of Guernsey. The Queenston Resident's Association initiative was supported by "contributing friends", including the Town of Niagara-on-th-Lake, Canadian Heritage and the Royal Canaidan Military Institute (RCMI).

David Hamlin Clendenning, Canadian Diplomat and Trade Commissioner (Ottawa) was recognized for originating the idea of twining the two entities, arranging first introductions between Guernsey and Queenston, and providing ongoing support to this important heritage activity.
