HMCS Vegreville was a Bangor-class minesweeper that served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War.

The engines produced a total of 2,400 indicated horsepower (1,800 kW) and gave a maximum speed of 16.5 knots (30.6 km/h; 19.0 mph).

The 2-pounder gun aboard Vegreville was replaced by a powered twin 20 mm Oerlikon mount.

[3][6] Vegreville was equipped with LL and SA minesweeping gear to counter magnetic and acoustic naval mines.

Vegreville was commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy on 10 December 1941 at Montreal with the pennant number J257.

[7] In January 1944, Vegreville was ordered to the United Kingdom as part of Canada's contribution to the invasion of Normandy.

[8] During the night of 5–6 June, the flotilla swept the assault channel unmolested by German shore positions.

In April 1945, the 31st Minesweeping Flotilla joined the last large-scale combined operation in the European theatre in an attack on German naval bases in France that had been left untouched by Allied war effort to that point.
