MELFORT 鈥� Melfort Communities in Bloom have started a push at the city level to rename one of the city鈥檚 streets in honour of veterans.
鈥淚 remember the first time we flew into Victoria and we drove out of the airport parking lot, and then all of the sudden we鈥檙e on this road going downtown鈥� and we were on a highway named in honour of the veterans,鈥� said Peggy George, a volunteer with Melfort Communities in Bloom.
鈥淚t鈥檚 an idea that we had, so we approached the city and we鈥檒l collaborate with them and see what can be done.鈥�
George said they don鈥檛 have a specific street or name in mind, so long as it fits the theme of honouring the veterans.
鈥淭he wars were very important, we shouldn鈥檛 forget what so many people gave their lives for,鈥� she said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 lots of talk about remembering and let鈥檚 not forget, and it鈥檚 all done in a couple days in November and then we move on and we forget about it again.鈥�
