The Engineers had been there since 1942 and CFOCS since 1967. \u00a0Nonetheless, there are thousands of ex-cadets from all services and classifications whose lives and careers were shaped by their time in Chilliwack.<\/p>\r\n<p>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.<\/p>\r\n<p>The year 2026 marks the 80<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the dedication of All Sappers Park &amp; 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 \u2013 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.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you are interested in learning more about the history of the Memorial and Operation GRANITE II, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/cmea-agmc.ca\/brief-history-all-sappers-memorial-chilliwack-bc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>A Brief History of the All Sappers Memorial in Chilliwack BC<\/strong><\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/operation-granite-ii.info\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Operation GRANITE II<\/strong><\/a> site, or contact the Op GRANITE II PMO at <a href=\"mailto:Op_Granite_II@cmea-agmc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Op_Granite_II@cmea-agmc.ca<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p><em>Feature photo caption:<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>All Sapper\u2019s Cenotaph was unveiled on 14 July 1946 by the Governor-General of Canada, Viscount Alexander of Tunis.
