Veteran’s Way

Date:

Morden councillor Doug Frost, Morden Legion rep. Bob Frost, Mayor Nancy Penner, and Councillor Garry Hiebert gathered outside the Legion Monday to officially recognize the honourary renaming of North Railway as Veteran’s Way. “I think to have a visual sign commemorating our veterans is a special way to remember them,” said Penner. “It’s a prominent way to show respect for their service to our country.”
