The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.
The Captain Brenden MacDonald Memorial was unveiled on 16 July 2022 and includes a plaque, a photo of MacDonald and a photo of the CH148 helicopter. A Cyclone helicopter did a low speed pass over the field during the ceremony.
Brenden was a helicopter pilot in the Canadian Armed Forces who died in 2020 along with five others in a Cyclone crash in the Ionian Sea. He was born and raised in New Glasgow.
