As a memorial to Canadian aviators who died in World War II, one of the remaining Canadair Sabres in Canada is on display in the Germain park.

Along with an RCAF memorial plaque, there is an F-86 MkV Sabre Golden Hawk fighter jet, serial number 23164. Originally it had been stored in a warehouse and was almost burned beyond repair in a fire in 1970, while in storage. It was restored in 1971.
