The church itself was given to the group after the closure of Stoney Mountain Station in 1964. The station was a sector management station for the Royal Canadian Air Pressure when it opened in 1957. Considered one of two church buildings on the station was given to the group.

The memorial is deliberate for the gazebo park on the nook of Cheecham Drive and Stony Mountain Highway. The lot of the previous church is now a park with a gazebo, backyard containers, picnic tables, benches, lighting, flag poles, walkways and parking. The footprint of the previous church is empty.

The RMWB’s web site has idea drawings of the memorial, a FAQ part in regards to the undertaking and a questionnaire about designs. A report on early suggestions compiled by the municipality’s public works division can also be on-line.
