The Bragg Creek Cenotaph was dedicated in 2009. It was created by a committee led by Second World War Veteran Tony Iati and Jack Merryfield. The cenotaph was built by volunteers with support from Bragg Creek businesses and community groups. It is covered in river rock with a bronze statue of a First World War soldier holding a rifle and standing vigil on top. The statue was created by renowned bronze sculptor Don Begg of Studio West Bronze Foundry Ltd. There are two decorative cannons sitting on either side of the cenotaph.

BOMBER COMMAND

HONOURING THE CANADIANS

SERVING WITH
BOMBER COMMAND
(1939 - 1945)

PER ARDUA AD ASTRA

(list of names, needs further research/une liste de noms suit, recherche incomplète)

[right/droit]

"Three thousand miles across a hunted ocean
they came, wearing on the shoulder of their tunics
the treasure name, 'Canada', telling the world their
origin. Young men and women they were, some still
in their teens, fashioned by their Maker to love, not
to kill, but proud and earnest in their mission to
stand, and if it had to be, to die, for their country
and for freedom.

One day, when the history of the 20th century is
finally written, it will be recorded that when human
society stood at the crossroads of civilization
itself was under siege, the Royal Canadian Air Force
was there to fill the breach and help give humanity
the victory. And all those who had a part in it will
have left to posterity a legacy of honour, of courage,
and of valour that time can never despoil."

-Father J.P. Lardie (Chaplain 419, 428 Squadron RCAF)

[The wording is not clear in the photo./Le texte n’est pas clair sur la photo.]


Vulcan's airport was officially opened in 1982 to provide a service for
private and small commercial aircraft such as crop dusters. The airport's two
runways, one concrete and one turf, are aligned to take advantage of the
prevailing southwesterly winds and to ensure safety for aircraft that are landing or
taking off.

Vulcan played an important role during World War II with the establish-
ment, in 1941, of a British Commonwealth Air Training Plan airfield. The old
airfield is located 6km west and 7km south of this airport. The station was one
of many flying schools in Canada that trained air crew during the war. No. 2
Flying Instructor School used the airfield from 1941 - 42, and No. 19 Service
Flying Training School was located there from 1942 - 45. The airport is no longer
used by aircraft, but many of the old hangars are used by local businesses.

Think and Search:
What factors would you consider if you were designing the alignment of an
airport's runways? Would you have designed this airport differently?
