    Select Committees are ad-hoc committees of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario with specific terms of reference to investigate and report on a specific issue. This committee was initially established on April 22, 1920 with Henry Sloane Cooper as Chair, and was re-appointed on April 28, 1921 and March 30, 1922. They issued their final report on February 15, 1923. The committee recommended the construction of a cenotaph on University Avenue in Toronto, but recommended that it be postponed until the creation of a new archives building at the same time.
