Hundreds Attend Greenslade Park Dedication

The memory of 6 soldiers will live on in a beautiful new green space overlooking the Kennebecasis River.
 

Hundreds coming out to witness the dedication of the Private David Greenslade Peace Park in honour of the 20 year old Saint John soldier and his comrades of Bravo 22.


  
Plaques featuring their faces honour each of the soldiers lost on April 8th 2007 with a red maple tree in front of each one.

Kate Stannix is Chris Stannix's mom and says it's an uplifting day and here she is in tears but at the same time it's heartwarming to know everyone has supported this project to create such a beautiful tribute to them all.

Laurie Greenslade, David's mom, says she is very grateful to the City, Saint John high and the Peace Park committee for making it possible.


The black wrought iron gate that marks the entrance was built by students at Saint John, David Greenslade's high school.
