Calling All Canadian Veterans & Families

For those who marched the drill square at Cornwallis… For those who stood shoulder‑to‑shoulder in the cold Atlantic wind… For those who remember the cadence, the pride, the friendships, and the moments that shaped a lifetime — this invitation is for you.

Our community is growing, and we’d be honoured to welcome you back into a space built with the same spirit you carried into service: loyalty, camaraderie, and pride.

Visit the new and improved Members Area on ReigniteSocial — it’s free, it’s private, and it’s made for the people who lived the history, not the corporations who profit from it.

If you’ve been looking for a place that respects your service, your stories, and your legacy, you’ll feel right at home. Come reconnect with those who trained beside you. Share memories. Honour the past. Keep the spirit of Cornwallis alive.

You’re invited. You’re welcome. And you belong here.

Please help preserve the legacy of HMCS/CFB Cornwallis.

For a while I’ve been working to keep the history of Cornwallis alive — the stories, the photographs, the people who trained, served, and lived through its remarkable chapters. As you can imagine, there are ongoing monthly costs involved in maintaining this project, from hosting and archiving to research and digital preservation.
Your support helps ensure that this legacy isn’t lost to time. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly strengthens the effort to protect and share the history of a place that shaped generations.

Thank You, Wayne Wiebe
