Wawa Legion Looking at Replacing Current Cenotaph & Relocating It to MMCC

Wawa's Legion Executive is looking at replacing the local cenotaph.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 429 President Mary Anne Pearson explains the Cenotaph in Queen's Park is in very poor condition.

Pearson says plans are for a few changes, including to the design of the monument, but also its location.

Pearson notes the new spot would be convenient, as recent Remembrance Day ceremonies have been held at the MMCC, anyway - so it would cut travel after the ceremony at the Cenotaph to the larger service.

While she says discussions have been held with the Municipality about the new Cenotaph and location, funding still needs to be secured.

Comments and suggestions about the plan are encouraged - simply contact a member of the Legion Executive: Pearson, Larry Harvey, Barb Leschishin, or Eric Mitrikas.
