For more than 50 years, the Royal Roads mast stood in front of Hatley Castle. Lowered when Royal

Roads Military College closed in 1995, the mast has now been refurbished by the Navy at CFB

Esquimalt and reinstalled in a new Memorial Plaza at Royal Roads University.

The Vancouver Island Ex-Cadet Club and Royal Roads University are now offering granite paving

stones to be inscribed with the names of ex-cadets and former staff of any Royal Roads military

college. These stones will pave the area within the granite walls surrounding the mast. They may be

ordered for anyone who served at Royal Roads from 1940 to 1995.

All donations collected will go towards the RRU Military Heritage Fund.

When you support the Royal Roads Military Heritage Fund, you are investing in the preservation and

appreciation of Royal Roads’ naval and military history as exemplified by the restoration of the Mast,

the Ship’s Bell and the College Colours.

You are also helping to provide a means of preserving the individual stories of those who experienced

Royal Roads through oral history interviews and the collection and digitization of photos.
