The Royal Canadian Air Force has stood on guard for Canada since 1924. Over three hundred and twenty five Sackville area residents and students of Mount Allison University have served in the R.C.A.F. both here and abroad from the First World War until today. Of those members of our air force, seventy five made the ultimate sacrifice by laying down their lives in the name of freedom and democracy. It is our responsibility to ensure that they are never forgotten and to honour all who have served in the past and will serve in the future.

The Avro "Anson" was widely used as an instructional aircraft in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during the Second World War, at Moncton and Chatham, NB for pilot, navigation, bombing, gunnery and radio instruction. The example shown here was built in Amherst NS just across the marsh from Sackville, and was one of nearly 3,000 built in Canada of more than 11,000 built worldwide. It remained in production from 1936 until 1952.

This memorial is dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force, 2014.

The Honourable George Stanley Sculpture was completed by artist Christian Toth. It is a life size bronze sculpture of the designer of the Canadian flag,  seated on a bench. Christian also custom designed and partially refurbished the bronze bench. He manufactured and welded eight custom sized steel slats into existing iron cast end bench caps and painted the entire piece bronze to match the sculpture.

George is holding a sketch of his idea for the Canadian flag. The sculpture is meant to convey George contemplating about the flag's design and also left open to interpretation to the viewer as to what George is actually thinking. The sculpture was unveiled on Canada Day in 2018.

George served in the Second World War, joined a team of military historians headed up by Charles Perry Stacey, and retired in 1946 as Deputy Director of the army's historical section. He was Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick from 1982 to 1987. For 10 years (1982-92) he was Honorary Colonel of the Royal New Brunswick Regiment. In 1976, he was awarded the Order of Canada and in 1995 he was promoted to the rank of Companion within the Order.

The sculpture was funded by the Province of New Brunswick, through the Program for Municipal Development to Commemorate Canada 150.

There is also a George F. G. Stanley Memorial.

The George F.G. Stanley Memorial was erected by the Town of Sackville and unveiled on Canada Day, 1 July, 1995. The memorial honours his many contributions to the Town of Sackville, the Province of New Brunswick and to Canada. George suggested the design for the Canadian Flag, which was officially inaugurated on February 15, 1965. The date now celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day.

A letter, dated March 23, 1964, was written by George Stanley, an eminent Canadian historian and Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College in Kingston. He suggested the Royal Military College's red-white-red design as a good basis for a distinctive Canadian flag. Dr. Stanley's letter was addressed to John Matheson, a Liberal MP from Brockville, who had emerged as then-Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson's pointman on the Government's issue: the promised adoption of a new and distinctive national flag.

"The single leaf has the virtue of simplicity," Stanley wrote. "It emphasizes the distinctive Canadian symbol and suggests the idea of loyalty to a single country."

"If the flag is to be a unifying symbol, it must avoid the use of national or racial symbols that are of a divisive nature."

George served in the Second World War, joined a team of military historians headed up by Charles Perry Stacey, and retired in 1946 as Deputy Director of the army's historical section. He was Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick from 1982 to 1987. For 10 years (1982-92) he was Honorary Colonel of the Royal New Brunswick Regiment. In 1976, he was awarded the Order of Canada and in 1995 he was promoted to the rank of Companion within the Order.

There is also an Honourable George Stanley Sculpture.

HMCS Sackville
NCSM Sackville

This garden is named in honour of HMCS Sackville, a corvette that had a distinguished career during the Second World War. She was launched on May 15, 1941 in Saint John, New Brunswick and was christened by Mrs. J.E.W. Oland in the presence of Mayor Norman Hesler and the entire town council of Sackville. HMCS Sackville was named after the Town of Sackville, which supported the ship and her crews during the Second World War.

Over 269 corvettes were built and launched (most of them in Canada) between 1939 and 1944 but HMCS Sackville is the sole survivor. She is berthed in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she proudly serves as the official Canadian Naval Memorial reminding the people of Canada of the sacrifices made by the ships’ crews in the Battle of the Atlantic. The Town continues to support the ship, which is open to the public, in its role as a National Memorial.

Dedicated on May 15, 2010,
in recognition of the national celebration
of The Canadian Naval Centennial.

Ce jardin commémore la corvette NCSM Sackville qui s’est distinguée durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle a été lancée le 15 mai 1941 à Saint John au Nouveau-Brunswick et a été baptisée par Madame J.E.W. Oland en présence du maire Norman Hesler et de tous les membres du conseil municipal de Sackville. NCSM Sackville porte le nom de la ville de Sackville qui a donné son soutien au navire et à ses équipages durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Plus de 269 corvettes ont été construites et mises à l’eau (la plupart au Canada) entre 1939 et 1944 mais seul NCSM Sackville a subsisté. Il est au mouillage dans la rade d’Halifax en Nouvelle-Écosse et il sert officiellement de Mémorial naval canadien rappelant aux canadiens les sacrifices des équipages des bâtiments de guerre durant la bataille de l’Atlantique. La ville continue d’apporter son soutien au navire dans son rôle de mémorial national. Le navire est ouvert au public.

Inauguré le 15 mai 2010
à l’occasion de la célébration nationale du Centenaire de la Marine canadienne.

HMCS Sackville is a Flower Class corvette commissioned by the Royal Canadian Navy. It was launched on May 15, 1941, in Saint John, New Brunswick and christened by Mrs. J.E.W. Oland in the presence of the Mayor of Sackville, Norman Hesler and the entire Town Council of Sackville, which supported the ship and her crews during the Second World War. She served as an escort for trans-Atlantic convoys during the Second World War and participated in the Battle of the Atlantic. All Canadian corvettes of this class were named after Canadian towns and K181 was named for Sackville, New Brunswick. 

The Town of Sackville continues its connection with HMCS Sackville and in 2010 inaugurated a Memorial Garden within Memorial Park.  Included is a plaque commemorating the Town's connection with the vessel. This garden is named in honour of HMCS Sackville, a corvette that had a distinguished career during the Second World War. She was launched on May 15, 1941 in St. John, New Brunswick and was christened by Mrs. J.E.W.Oland in the presence of Mayor Norman Hesler and the entire town council of Sackville, which supported the ship and her crews during the Second World War.

On June 29, 2010, in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Navy, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh visited Sackville during the International Fleet Review in Halifax and unveiled a plaque to mark the significance of Canada’s Naval Memorial.

Over 269 corvettes were built and launched (most of them in Canada) between 1939 and 1944, but HMCS Sackville is the sole survivor. She is berthed in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she proudly serves as the official Canadian Naval Memorial reminding the people of Canada of the sacrifices made by the ships' crews in the Battle of the Atlantic.
