Chilliwack Homecoming and Reunions 17-19 July 2026
It has been almost a generation since CFB Chilliwack was closed and its main units moved to other bases – the School of Military Engineering to CFB Gagetown, the Officer Candidate School to St-Jean, and 1 CER and 3 PPCLI to Edmonton. The Engineers had been there since 1942 and CFOCS since 1967. Nonetheless, there are thousands of ex-cadets from all services and classifications whose lives and careers were shaped by their time in Chilliwack.
At the corner of Vedder and Keith Wilson Roads in Chilliwack, there is a small park and cenotaph that has, over the years, become a focus in the local community for reflection and remembrance. When the military left, the City of Chilliwack generously took over the care and maintenance of the site and it has become a local attraction.
The year 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the dedication of All Sappers Park & Memorial, which, aside from a small contingent of the reserve force, is the only remnant of the military in the area. To help remember our shared experiences in Chilliwack, the Canadian Military Engineers Association and others are planning a rededication of the site and an open homecoming reunion on the weekend of 17 – 19 July next year. The event is not restricted to Military Engineers, and anyone who has trained or served there at any time is encouraged to join us. As the original project to build the memorial was named Operation GRANITE in reference to the local material used to build the Cenotaph, this event is named Operation GRANITE II.
If you are interested in learning more about the history of the Memorial and Operation GRANITE II, go to A Brief History of the All Sappers Memorial in Chilliwack BC and the Operation GRANITE II site, or contact the Op GRANITE II PMO at [email protected].

Le cénotaphe des sapeurs a été inauguré le 14 juillet 1946 par le gouverneur général du Canada, le vicomte Alexandre de Tunis. On y voit le lieutenant-colonel Mitchell, VC, MC, commandant du camp militaire et concepteur du parc ; le général Charles Foulkes, CÉMD ; et le major-général Bert Hoffmeister, commandant général de la zone Pacifique.
Retrouvailles et réunion à Chilliwack
Près d’une génération s’est écoulée depuis la fermeture de la BFC Chilliwack et le déménagement de ses principales unités vers d’autres bases : l’École du génie militaire à la BFC Gagetown, l’École des officiers candidats à Saint-Jean, et le 1er RGC et le 3 PPCLI à Edmonton. Le Génie étaient présents depuis 1942 et l’École des officiers des Forces canadiennes depuis 1967. Néanmoins, des milliers d’anciens élèves-officiers de tous les services et de toutes les classifications ont façonné leur vie et leur carrière à Chilliwack.
À l’angle des chemins Vedder et Keith Wilson, à Chilliwack, se trouvent un petit parc et un cénotaphe qui, au fil des ans, sont devenus un lieu de recueillement et de commémoration dans la communauté locale. Après le départ des militaires, la Ville de Chilliwack a généreusement pris en charge l’entretien du site, qui est devenu une attraction locale.
L’année 2026 marque le 80e anniversaire de l’inauguration du parc et mémorial des sapeurs. Hormis un petit contingent de la Force de réserve, il s’agit du seul vestige de l’armée dans la région. Afin de commémorer nos expériences communes à Chilliwack, l’Association du Génie militaire canadien et d’autres organisations prévoient une nouvelle inauguration du site et une réunion de retrouvailles ouverte à tous, le week-end du 17 au 19 juillet prochain. Cet événement n’est pas réservé aux ingénieurs militaires, et toute personne ayant été entraînée ou ayant servi à cet endroit est encouragée à se joindre à nous. Le projet initial de construction du mémorial ayant été baptisé Opération GRANITE en référence aux matériaux locaux utilisés pour la construction du cénotaphe, cet événement s’intitule Opération GRANITE II.
Pour en savoir plus sur l’histoire du mémorial et de l’opération GRANITE II, consultez la page « Bref historique du mémorial des sapeurs à Chilliwack, en Colombie-Britannique, et du site de l’opération GRANITE II », ou contactez le bureau de gestion de projet de l’opération GRANITE II à l’adresse [email protected] .
