Friday, September 14, 2018 3Brooklin Town Crier Brooklin's Royal Canadian Legion Branch 152 announced last year it was going to move its memorial from the current site at Luther Vipond Arena to the front of the Brooklin Library. The reason is because of the looming expansion of Winchester Road. There is also the likelihood of the Vipond Arena and grounds undergoing renovation when a new rec- reation facility is announced for either that location or elsewhere. While neither has happened yet, the Legion couldn't wait much longer to determine what to do. This means that the upcoming Nov. 11 Remembrance Ceremony outside the arena will be the last for the site. The new site will require about $70,000 to create the monument and surrounding gardens. To date, the Legion has received just over $48,000, which includes $25,000 from Veteran Affairs. The Legion itself has contributed $15,000 from its poppy fund and brought in another $1400 from hosting a yard sale. The Town of Whitby contributed $5,000. One resident, who won a 50/50 draw at the legion, even contributed his winnings of $77. A fundraising campaign for the remaining $22,000 is now underway. Those wishing to donate to the new memorial can do so as follows: 1 - Write a cheque made out to: Royal Canadian Legion - Monument Fund. Mail it to: Royal Canadian Legion, 56 Baldwin St. Brooklin, L1M 1A3 Or 2 - Send an email transfer to Karen Walendzewicz, the Legion's treasurer: Email: kwalend63@gmail.com "Proud to be a Brooklinite" Founded in 2000 and published 24 times per year.
