The Municipality of Lakeshore is looking at naming new streets after local veterans who died in action.
Lakeshore worked with the Belle River and Comber branches of the Royal Canadian Legion to develop a list of local veterans who were killed in action in the two world wars.
The names of the veterans will be compiled and incorporated into Lakeshore’s street naming policy. Currently, local developers can suggest names for new streets, which are reviewed and approved if they meet the requirements outlined in the policy.
Developers will be provided with the list of veterans to be considered for street names.
“With Remembrance Day upon us, this is another opportunity to honour the sacrifices made by veterans and recognize their impact on our country and communities,” said Mayor Tracey Bailey. “We greatly appreciate the support of the local legion branches and look forward to continuing to build the list of names to honour Lakeshore veterans.”
An online submission form and list of current names of Lakeshore veterans will be published on the municipality’s online webpage at Lakeshore.ca.
