The monument, which was unveiled in November 1984, has recently been re-inscribed with the names of all Canadian military health services personnel who have fallen in service to Canada since the Boer War, including six frontline medical technicians who have died in Afghanistan.
The rededication ceremony will be preceded by the first annual CF Health Services Memorial March, in which a group of 30 CF personnel will march 13.94 km, or 10 metres for every name inscribed on the monument.
(Note: The monument is located at the intersection of Ortona Rd and El Alamein Rd. If entering the base from Angus, follow Cambrai Rd to El Alamein Rd and turn left. If entering the base from Alliston, follow Ortona Rd to El Alamein Rd.)
