The Bruce Warren Memorial Garden was dedicated to his memory on June 24, 2001. The garden, which has the museum’s CF-100 as a backdrop, was the result of efforts by museum director Jim Wiersma and his wife Pauline. In attendance were Bruce’s twin, Douglas "Duke", their sons, and other members of the Warren family. The garden was dedicated by Reverend Dwight Powell. Douglas "Duke" and Bruce’s son Douglas unveiled the engraved black granite monument.

Born in Nanton, the Warren twins trained at High River and flew Spitfires together at Dieppe and throughout the Second World War. Douglas retired to Comox following a distinguished career with the Air Force. Bruce was killed while testing a prototype CF-100 jet fighter. The accident was thought to have been caused by an oxygen system malfunction.

This mountain was named in 1922 in honour of HMS Cornwall which was a cruiser engaged in the Battle of the Falkland Islands during the First World War. The Cornwall and Glasgow (48019-070), together with HMS Kent (48019-108), were pursuing three German warships that were trying to escape the main battle and seek refuge in Tierra del Fuego. Choosing to concentrate their attention on the German light cruiser Leipzig, HMS Glasgow engaged first, attempting to slow down the fleeing German ship and allow the Cornwall to catch up and assist. The Glasgow suffered some hits but the tactic was successful and soon HMS Cornwall came into range and hit the Leipzig. The two English ships then engaged their wounded quarry from opposite sides, their fire becoming more and more effective as they slowly closed the range. The Leipzig heeled over and sank rapidly by her bows. The British ships could rescue only 18 of the 286 sailors.
