Quispamsis Council voted in favour to donate the venue for future veteran day ceremonies after members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #58 approached council last week.
Legion Branch #58 President Harold Defazio tells CHSJ news previous venues couldn't hold the growing number of people attending. He says he's so happy the decision was made, not for the legion but for the veterans who shouldn't be out in the cold. Defazio says they also plan on erecting a bigger and nicer cenotaph for next year.
Quispamsis Mayor Murray Driscoll says the town is delighted to contribute the facility to vets and those who have fallen, whom he says deserve the utmost respect.
