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.

There are several Canadian geographical names that honour the ‘sapper’. Sapperton is a neighbourhood of New Westminister, BC that owes its name to the original Royal Engineers’ camp when they were occupied with the early mapping and development of this part of Canada in the 1860s.
