Chilliwack Lake Sapper Park Monument
Submitted by the CFB Chilliwack Historical Society
Pictures are worth a thousand words and these pictures show a “Sapper” monument that needs our help. Located at the south end of Chilliwack Lake, it no longer favourably represents Sappers. We are confident that with the aid of the Sapper Family, we can turn this around and once again give it meaning and purpose.
Canadian Engineers in Ukraine
By a Canadian Engineer Troop Commander
Royal Canadian Engineers, when compared to all the other trades in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), have the most responsibilities on the battlefield.
It was therefore necessary to outfit Operation UNIFIER with a team of these highly qualified, technical experts to help conduct training and mentoring to Ukrainian soldiers. Our assignment is to provide these Ukrainian soldiers with tactical life-saving skills to help them survive on operations.
