This plaque is dedicated to the former residents of the Permanent Married Quarters (PMQs). Following the closure of Canadian Forces Base Chilliwack, Canada Lands Company took over the management and future development of the site including the Permanent Married Quarters (PMQ) area. The housing was extensively renovated, the road network realigned and updated.

To preserve some of the military history of the area, Canada Lands Company has renamed the Permanent Married Quarters area "Garrison Crossing" and has installed a few historical elements in the housing development including this plaque. During the existence of Canadian Forces Base  Chilliwack, the Permanent Married Quarters area was previously known as "Mitchell Gardens" in honour of Lieutenant-Colonel Mitchell, VC.

The plaque is featured along the Garrison Crossing Legacy Walk.

CFB Chilliwack's original camp in April 1942 was built of Bell Tents, and this life-size concrete Bell Tent serves as a reminder of the base's early years.

In 1937, four half-acre sites and one slightly smaller area were officially surveyed and registered to the Legion. In 2001, seventeen gravestones from that time period were refurbished, and there are 3,000 other veterans or veterans dependents buried in the cemetery. During this time, they also received money to do some landscaping, including the planting of native trees around the area. (Adapted from the Chilliwack Progress, Tuesday, November 6, 2001)
