Mr. Beale and Ms. Allison presented their project to Council and provided them with an invitation to attend the tribute ceremony on September 22, 2018. They explained that interested members of Council would be part of the procession parade at the dedication ceremony and that a donation of $200 would provide a memorial flag to honour a veteran.
Mr. Antaya questioned whether the group would be visiting the local councils as well or if members of County Council should bring the request for donations forward to their local councils. It was noted that County Council members were to bring back the request to their local municipalities for consideration and that cut off date for donations was mid-August. Ms. Birch was requested to circulate the donation form to those who request it.
Mr. McNamara thanked the delegation for the presentation and for the tributes they have facilitated for local veterans. He further expressed that a $1000.00 donation for 5 veterans from Tecumseh would be forthcoming.
Warden Bain indicated that the County would provide a donation to Veterans Voices of Canada - 128 Flags of Remembrance Tribute as well, and thanked the delegation for their presentation.
