HARRISTON – Residents in Minto may have noticed a new veterans’ crosswalk has been installed, near the cenotaph and Grey Wellington Theatre Guild, at the intersection of Mill Street and Elora Street South.

Minto council agreed in April to investigate the next steps of placing a themed crosswalk to recognize the Royal Canadian Legion’s 100th anniversary.

Council ultimately approved the crosswalk at its May 5 meeting.

The Harriston Legion Branch 296 posted on its social media on June 24, “Thanks to the town and community for supporting this project. 

“We would also like to thank our ladies’ auxiliary, branch members and Minto council as a whole.”
