Kudos to Uxbridge, City and Region
On a recent Sunday drive, I had the good fortune of stopping in the Uxbridge, ON. What a wonderful surprise!
Uxbridge is a quaint, welcoming town northeast of Toronto, much like many other southern Ontario towns. But Uxbridge has a surprise for pedestrian tourists visiting its downtown, a dedication and commemoration of Canadian armed forces veterans, everywhere. Intersection sculptures, streetside plaques and park memorials but the biggest surprise was the streetlight banner memorials:
Every street post throughout most of the region has these banners with a photo no less, dedicated to a war veteran. What an incredible sight and an awesome commemoration by the City and its residents.
The Mayor, Dave Barton, the department responsible for this commemorative endeavour and all the contributing residents and friends of Uxbridge are to be commended to this civic commemoration. It really is a honorable and memorable endeavour that every visitor to Uxbridge and its region will appreciate.
Kudos to Mayor Dave Barton and all the people involved with this wonderful example of citizens appreciating their fellow citizens.
