==Commemoration== [[File:Halifaxcarrier.jpg|thumb|''Bonaventure''{{'}}s anchor, [[Point Pleasant Park]], Halifax, Nova Scotia]] ''Bonaventure'' had two ships' anchors. One anchor is preserved at [[Point Pleasant Park]] in Halifax as the ''Bonaventure'' Anchor Memorial. The monument was dedicated in 1973 initially to aircrew lost at sea, but later to all naval personnel who died in service. The monument consists of the anchor and chains, along with a small chain running from the monument into the water to make the connection between the monument and the sea. The anchor faces the mouth of the harbour. The names of navy and air force personnel who died during peacetime are etched into plaques beside the anchor.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://thechronicleherald.ca/southshorebreaker/1560375-the-bonaventure-monument-given-new-life |title=The Bonaventure Monument given new life |last=Hennessey |first=Dan |work=Halifax Chronicle Herald |date=9 April 2018 |access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/bonaventure-anchor-memorial-to-finally-get-repair-upgrades-1.4572297 |title=Halifax's Bonaventure Anchor Memorial finally getting repair upgrades |work=CBC News |last=Palmeter |first=Paul |date=12 March 2018 |access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref> Her starboard anchor, donated by Maritime Command on 6 May 1998, is on display at [[Royal Military College Saint-Jean]].
