Rossburn Municipality Unveils Commemorative Crosswalk for the Royal Canadian Legion's 100th Anniversary 🇨🇦
To recognize the 100th year of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Municipality recently painted a commemorative crosswalk in honour of Canada's Veterans and those who have served our country.
The image shown here features our original design, which included poppies along the crosswalk as a symbol of remembrance.
Since completing the project, it has been brought to our attention that the Remembrance Poppy should not be placed in a location where it may be walked on. The Royal Canadian Legion advises that the Poppy not be used on crosswalks or other surfaces where the symbol of remembrance can be trod upon. Therefore, we have modified the design and have replaced the poppies with maple leaves.
We are proud of the original concept and wanted to share this photo.
We invite the public to join us tomorrow morning at 9:15 a.m. for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony as we celebrate this meaningful addition to our community and honour the service and sacrifice of Canada's Veterans.
