After the Second World War, Fredericton built the Nashwaaksis Memorial Elementary School in memory of local airman killed in World War Two. This K-5 school situated on the north side of the Saint John River in Fredericton, New Brunswick serves both English and French Immersion programs.

This memorial is dedicated to the memory of the six casualties of the June 1988 demolition accident at the CFB Chilliwack Slesse Range. It was originally unveiled at the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering (CFB Chilliwack), but was re-dedicated at Gagetown when the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering moved to New Brunswick. The memorial consists of a brass plaque and black slab, both resting on a grey granite base.

Officer Cadet K. Gawne also has a memorial tree dedicated to her and Officer Cadet W.J. Whitley has a trophy in his honour.

The re-created 1948 The Destruction of War and Rebuilding the World Through Education Mural, originally painted by renowned Canadian artist Fred Ross in the performance court of the Center, was unveiled on June 27, 2011. The new mural was painted by Amy Ash, Sara Griffin and Fred Willar under the direction of Fred Ross.

Members of Fredericton High School's student council commissioned and paid Fred Ross $700 to tackle a mural Second World War memorial for fallen students. This occupied him full-time from 1946 to 1948. His murals, The Destruction of War and Rebuilding the World Through Education, were unveiled on May 21, 1948.

The composition was two small sketches which were squared off to prepare full size drawings called "cartoon". The back of the cartoons were rubbed with chalk and transferred to the 4 x 10 foot masonite panels prepared with gesso ground. In The Destruction of War, the central figure, a young ’universal’ soldier, with no distinguishing marks, equipment or insignia to identify him as either Allied or German is surrounded by fearful and fighting individuals and screaming victims of war. Ross wanted to stress the idea of the brotherhood of man breaking down all national barriers.

Rebuilding the World Through Education establishes a positive panorama of school, sports and social activities. A confident and centrally placed male and female couple stand beside Ross's self-portrait at the center left adjusting his bow tie. He implies an awareness of history but also confidence in his generation's ability to take society to a better direction - a direction that is now under a nuclear threat as demonstrated by the atomic mushroom cloud atop both panels.

The original murals were dismantled in the mid-1950s and no longer exits. Ross' original cartoons, are in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.

Royal Canadian Legion Gladstone Capital District Branch 55 erected a granite memorial in Fredericton Junction NB in memory of comrades who passed on since cessation of hostilities. A second granite memorial is in memory of our comrades who made the supreme sacrifice in the cause of freedom.

The Rankin memorial window was donated by Dr. W.D. Rankin of Woodstock in memory of his two children, son Franklin Sharp Rankin and daughter Marjory Rankin Coleman. N.B. Franklin Sharp Rankin was the oldest son of Dr. Rankin and studied at the Royal Military College before enlisting with the 28^th New Brunswick Dragoons. He was then transferred to the 1^st Brighton Field Company and became a Lieutenant of the Royal Flying Corps.

His plane was shot down over Bapaume in 1916.

"One cannot help but feel — it is only natural — that this window will stand in our memories not only as a memorial to a son and a daughter of the Doctor, but as a memorial to the donor, Dr. Rankin himself. May this fine gift, and more especially the fine and virile useful life of the donor be a constant and lasting inspiration to succeeding classes of young men and young women passing through these Halls to noble and useful service." – Alumni Bulletin, June 20, 1928

The design of the window is based on a poem from the 1600s called Paradise Lost by John Milton.

The Fenwick memorial window was dedicated in memory of Lieutenant George Paget Owen Fenwick (BA 1902). Lieutenant Fenwick lost his life at Passchendaele on October 30^th, 1917. His commanding officer was quoted saying "We were all very much affected by the death of Mr. Fenwick, for he was so keen, so full of enthusiasm, and a most likeable man. As he was in civic life, prominent in his profession, so he was out here a most efficient and courageous officer. He was always thorough, and everything that was given him to do was done well and in a most cheerful spirit. The army has lost one of a kind we can ill-afford to lose." – The Brunswickan, 1926

The window was donated by his sisters Lena Fenwick and Mrs. G. Clowes Vanwart.

A piece of stained glass from the bombed cathedral in Ypres was put in the lower right window panel, retrieved by UNB alumnus Clarence Steeves.

The design of the window is based on a painting by George Frederick Watts. The painting feature a scene from Lord Tennyson’s poem Sir Galahad and quotes “My strength is as the strength of ten / Because my heart is pure.”

This LAV III Monument honours the members of our Canadian Armed Forces who served to protect our way of life and freedoms during the post 9/11 war on terror in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2014.

During their 12+ years in Afghanistan our troops were regularly confronted with enemy fire, suicide bombers and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The Canadian made LAV IIIs’ superior technology offered a great defense and soon became relied upon to protect our troops and preserve lives during the conduct of a variety of missions to help restore peace and government to the people of Afghanistan.

The LAV III became a "home away from home" for many soldiers and now it has returned to our hometown in the form of a memorial to say “thank you” to these very troops for their efforts and sacrifices. This monument - located next to the municipal cenotaph - will provide our citizens a place to pay tribute to our modern-day veterans of Afghanistan and to ensure that our local Fallen Heroes of that conflict will be forever remembered.

This sculpture, “KNEELING GUNNER”, depicts an Artilleryman, one of the gun crew (the “Loader”) cradling a 105mm artillery round as he kneels and waits to re-load the gun breach after the gun is fired. The uniform and accoutrements are circa 1970 – the Royal Canadian Artillery Association presented a copy in 1974 to the School of Artillery (CFB Gagetown) as an official centerpiece. The statue was unveiled in 1974, and is dedicated to current and past members of the Canadian Artillery.
