Remembering Our Fallen Neighbours
A new feature will be completed soon at the Dawson Trail Park entrance pergola as a permanent veterans’ memorial takes shape. Volunteers are busy installing the elements, including a flag and pole, a bronze plaque and an exhibit that lists those from the area who served and did not return. While we are not hosting an official Remembrance Day service this year, the community may look into it for future years. Feel free to visit the display this November. It will leave you with a somber feeling as you see the last names of families still
recognized in the area and some last names where the families have disappeared from our contemporary community. The Richer Community Club would like to thank our volunteers (individuals and businesses) who worked hard to install the elements, the Steinbach Legion and Veterans Canada for their financial contributions. Additionally, thanks to our group of local veterans who consulted on the final design of this important display, their input was appreciated and respected.
