During their Royal visit in 1973, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh planted two Silver Maple trees at the Cobourg Conservation Area (James Cockburn Park, 700 William Street) and unveiled a Cairn, officially marking the opening of the park. Unfortunately, due to the Ice Storm in 2013, one of the Silver Maples was lost, however, the other can still be seen, adjacent to the Cairn in the park.
