Queen’s Park—Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Bobbi Ann Brady today re-iterated the Ford government is long past due in creating a permanent reminder of the sacrifices Canadian military veterans and soldiers have made and continue to make for society’s gift of freedom.
Brady today re-tabled a motion she had twice previously tabled in the Ontario Legislature, which reads: That, in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should honour Canadian military veterans and soldiers by directing municipalities to set aside, and secure in perpetuity, a painted crosswalk in remembrance of their service and sacrifice.
“I’m tabling this motion again because I believe the further away we move from the world wars and continue through this current era of the “long peace,” we are more likely to lose sight of the courageous and determined efforts to secure peace, freedom and liberty,” Brady said. “The sacrifices by Canadian men and women were immense; therefore, the least we can do is ensure every community in Ontario remembers, every single day.”
Brady is hoping municipalities will pick up the call in the meantime and help to further enshrine our brave veterans who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice.
