In case you missed it on NTV News, the Buckmaster's Circle Community Centre was featured for the official completion of the project!

It was a celebratory day as community members, organizers, and guests came together to plant the final perennials, literally putting down roots for a greener, more welcoming environment. By adding more plants and greenery, the project will contribute to cleaner air, improved urban biodiversity, and a healthier outdoor space where the community can connect, gather, and thrive. This transformation will bring a lasting sense of pride and connectivity for the families, seniors, youth, and the broader community for years to come.

We are incredibly grateful to Andrew Connors and the NTV team for sharing our story, and to the massive network of partners who made this vision a reality.

Congratulations to 250 Wing, RCAFA Inc., recipient of the 2026 Green My City Award for Phase 2 of the Pennfield Ridge Air Force Memorial Arboretum in Pennfield Ridge, New Brunswick!

Presented at the 2026 National Awards of Landscape Excellence by the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association in St. John’s, Newfoundland, this award recognizes an inspiring project that demonstrates the lasting impact of community-driven greening initiatives.

Led by dedicated volunteers, Phase 2 of the arboretum expands a living memorial honouring the 70 Commonwealth aviators who lost their lives while training at the former Second World War air base.

Through native tree plantings, improved accessibility, interpretive features, and enhanced wildlife habitat, this project brings together environmental stewardship, heritage preservation, and community connection.

We are proud to celebrate 250 Wing, RCAFA Inc. and the volunteers whose passion and commitment continue to help their community grow greener. 🌱
