CFB Chilliwack Supply and Maintenance Memorial
Erected in February 1973, this monument is dedicated to the CFB Chilliwack Supply and Maintenance branches.
Supply and maintenance were once a single branch, but divided in World War II in order to better support their sphere of responsibility. While maintenance is concerned primarily with land ordnance systems, supply is involved with all material and is consequently represented by the larger branch. The sculpture indicates this relationship of the two sections starting from a common base and dividing to support a common sphere.

Monument commémoratif des divisions d’approvisionnement et d’entretien de la BFC Chilliwack
Érigé en février 1973, ce monument est dédié aux divisions d’approvisionnement et d’entretien de la BFC Chilliwack.
Les divisions de l’approvisionnement et l’entretien faisaient autrefois parties d’une seule division, mais elles furent scindées pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale afin de mieux soutenir leurs domaines de compétences. Bien que l’entretien concerne principalement les systèmes d’artillerie terrestre, tout le matériel doit passer par la division de l’approvisionnement, laquelle est, par conséquent, représentée par une plus importante division. La sculpture dépeint cette relation entre les deux divisions : sa base commune se divise ensuite pour soutenir la même sphère commune.
