The Standing Ready monument, dedicated to soldiers, sailors and aviators from New Brunswick, was unveiled on 11 November 2019. Its 105-mm gun can be rotated in the direction of various wars, conflicts and deployments that the Loyal Company has participated in since it was formed in 1793.
Designed by Saint John architect Malcolm Boyd, it features sandbags circling the retired 105-mm Howitzer that was used by the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment in the 1960s and '70s. Their battles locations are engraved on blocks around the monument. Also featured are replica ammunition boxes, a sandbag wall made out of concrete, and a bench displaying the Royal Artillery Regiment’s motto: Ubique. A time capsule was buried beneath the concrete. The monument was constructed by Source Atlantic, FCC Construction and Stresscon and is located on land donated by Port Saint John.
