Installation has begun on the Commemorative Crosswalk at the intersection of Mackay and Pembroke St W adjacent to the cenotaph.
Following a presentation in April of this year by the RCL, a motion was introduced at Pembroke City Council to fund 50% of the cost of a commemorative crosswalk spearheaded by the RCL that is to be installed at the corner of Pembroke St West and Mackay Street adjacent to the Cenotaph. The total cost of the project was estimated at $10,000.
The RCL decided to go it alone and with the help of the “104 Hearts Campaign” the total amount of funds were raised making the much anticipated crosswalk a reality.
The Legion is going to be announcing a special unveiling ceremony to be held at the site of the new crosswalk later this month so stay tuned here and listen to 104.9 myFM for more details!
