Everyone has saluted Councillor Alain
Fraser’ssuggestionthatHawkesburyre-name
a street in honour of war veterans.
But the idea of changing the Boulevard
duChenail into the BoulevarddesVétérans
hasdrawnprotests,promptingthecouncillor
to make an about-face.
At Monday’s council meeting, Fraser
altered his notice of motion, removing a
previous reference to the Boulevard du
Chenail. Council agreed with his

no civic addresses on the waterfront
boulevard. However, Tessier, reiterating he
supportedtheintentofthegesture,suggested
that another street, such as a section of John
Street, could be named in honour of service
personnel. With about 15 members of the
Hawkesbury branch of the Royal Canadian
Legion looking on, Fraser noted that the
local legion comprises 338 members,
including 107 veterans. More than 200
Hawkesbury veterans have died in combat
since 1928, he related, pointing out that
