The Royal Canadian Legion is hoping to see crosswalks near its branches across Canada repainted.
It is part of an initiative to commemorate the Legion’s 100th anniversary in 2026.
A request to paint a crosswalk near the Fort Frances Branch comes before town council on Monday.
The Fort Frances Legion came to be in 1927.
A few potential designs are being offered.
One has a silhouette of a lone soldier above the words ‘Lest We Forget’ with the crosswalk in red and white.
Another has a line of silhouetted soldiers walking across a blue and white striped crosswalk.
A third option has maple leafs within the crosswalk and the words ‘In honour of those who have sacrificed.’
In a letter to the town, the Legion notes that a number of communities have already committed to painting crosswalks.
Those in Ontario include Barrie, Cochrane, Hamilton and Sarnia.
