Township council approved a resolution to allocate $20,000 from the VKH Hydro reserve fund for bulk purchase of the granite memorial stones for immediate placement along the park walkway paths. Stones can be removed later for engraving and then replaced. Details on how to purchase one of the pathway memorial stones are available at The Review newspaper office or at the township municipal office on Pleasant Cor- ners Road, or through the township website.

Les tranchées contiennent plus de 200 pierres commémoratives qui tapissent les allées du parc et affichent les noms de bénévoles, individus et organismes, dont les efforts ont contribué à faire du Canton de Champlain une collectivité d’entraide et de qualité. Le Canton aura des détails sur la façon d’acheter une pierre pour la gravure et l’installation le long des allées du parc. —photo Gregg Chamberlain
Buy a paving stone for the new commu- nity park on Main Street in Vankleek Hill and honour a volunteer who has helped make Champlain Township a good place to live. Champlain Township council gave una- nimous support to a proposal from Louise Sproule for a community project to com- memorate individuals and groups whose volunteer efforts, past or present, have benefitted the township. The plan is to place between 200 to 270 engraved granite marker stones alongside the walkways in the new Vankleek Hill Town Square Park, which is also the new home for the village cenotaph. Local residents, businesses, or com- munity groups can purchase a stone for placement and have it engraved with the name of the volunteer, either an individual or BHSPVQ UIFZXJTIUPIPOPVS.BSUFM4POT .POVNFOUTXJMMQSPWJEFUIFTUPOFT BUDPTU for $70 each, which includes the engraving.
