Originally introduced in 1952, as the "RCAF Association Trophy" the F/L David Hornell VC Memorial Trophy was annually awarded to the top Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Canada, as judged by the Air Cadet League of Canada. The last such award, in 1982, went to 650 Vanier Squadron, Moncton, N.B. The trophy was then "retired" until 1991 when it was resurrected to be presented, by the Commander or Deputy Commander of Air Command to the top RCAC drill squadron at the Senior Leaders Course each summer at 4 Wing, Cold Lake, AB. Should it be convenient, a member of the National Executive Council of the Air Force Association may be called upon to present the trophy. Newly refurbished, the Trophy is now maintained at 1 Canadian Air Division Command HQ.

The First World War memorial window was erected by N.T. Lion, Toronto in 1926 in St. Matthew's Cathedral, the Anglican cathedral in Brandon, Manitoba. Bright red pennants fly from the staffs of the spear and the battle axe held by King David’s warriors. The buildings of Jerusalem can be seen in the background. A golden crown sits on David’s head as he raises his sword, as if offering it to the heavens.

3rd Canadian Division Support Group Commander, Colonel Scott McKenzie and other dignitaries were on hand for the Afghanistan Memorial Dedication Ceremony at Canoe River Memorial Park in Shilo on 26 June 2018. 

During operations in Afghanistan, Canadian soldiers relied on the LAV III, a light armoured vehicle, for sanctuary and safety.  For many the LAV III symbolizes Canada’s involvement in Afghanistan.  From 2001 to 2014, over 40,000 Canadian soldiers were deployed to Afghanistan.  During the operations in Afghanistan thousands of Canadian soldiers were wounded and 158 died, including 20 soldiers based out of CFB Shilo. The LAV III Monument is a fitting tribute to honour those Canadians who served.

The memorial project took six months to complete and many groups deserve thanks.  The vision and direction behind the project came from CFB Shilo Base Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Dave MacIntyre.  The LAV III Monument Program by Canada Company provided the monument and the main plaque.  The Shilo Service Club provided the stone cairn in front of the monument, and Real Property Operations constructed the cement pad that supports the LAV III.  The RCA Museum assisted with the acquisition and transportation of the LAV III from London, Ontario.
