About the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust.
CNMT is a non-profit organization made up of more than 1,200 trustees and volunteers.
Our Vision
Inspiring generations of Canadians to appreciate the accomplishments and sacrifices of the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War that helped make the world a better place.
Our mandate
The mandate comprises enduring pursuits and responsibilities that will not always translate into the goals and objectives of a specific Strategic Plan but are core activities that the Trust consistently devotes its time and energy towards, such as:
Ensuring that HMCS Sackville is preserved in perpetuity
Ensuring the service and sacrifice of Canadian sailors is commemorated
Promoting education and awareness of the Canadian Navy’s historical importance
Continue to make the Trust’s historical archives publicly accessible
Ensure sufficient resources are available for the fulfilment of the mission
The mission
To preserve the ship and share the stories.
The Trust is dedicated to making sure that HMCS Sackville remains a living and vibrant historical site that commemorates Canada’s Second World War naval effort, achievements, and sacrifices. It is committed to ensuring that as many of the remarkable stories associated with this extraordinary national endeavour are shared so all understand how their lives today have so profoundly benefitted from the monumental and heroic efforts of all the Canadians who worked so hard to build the third largest navy in the world and conduct naval operations in the Battle of the Atlantic and around the world.
Our Core Values
These core values are the preeminent values that are deeply ingrained in our organization’s culture and guide our actions.
