It was a very special moment just before the Remembrance Day ceremony in Strathroy Wednesday.
Under an overcast sky, military veterans, Legion members, dignitaries and everyday folks quietly walked across the new Veteran’s crosswalk downtown for it’s official opening.
Robert and Trina Heubach, owners of Crystal Clear Bags Canada here in Strathroy tell myFM why they helped fund the crosswalk, with the municipality.
Military veterans were the first to cross as a special tribute to them….along with three of the people who helped make the crosswalk happen in time for Remembrance Day.
Robert told myFM it’s important to honour our veterans in this way and it’s extra special that it was completed in the 100th anniversary year of the Legion.
The new crosswalk is located on Frank Street in front of the library.
