Notice:

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.

Just after the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) departed for Germany in 1965, they presented a stained glass window in Saint George’s Chapel at Currie Barracks, Calgary, Alberta. It was presented on the Regiment's behalf by Major J. Bell on 5 December 1965 and dedicated by the Chapel Chaplain, Major H.H. Johnson. The window depicts their regimental badge and a portrait of Saint George.

Saint George’s Chapel remained active for a short period after the Calgary Base closed in 1996. The stained glass window was moved to the Edmonton Garrison Chapel of Saint Luke & Saint John in 1997.
