The Municipality of South Huron is finding a new way to honour local veterans and recognize their service to the community and country.
The municipality has launched a commemorative mapping project that highlights streets named after local war veterans.
The project includes an interactive map where residents can learn more about the veterans behind the street names. Special street signs are also being installed, featuring a poppy symbol along with each veteran’s name and rank.
The signs are being added throughout the municipality on an ongoing basis. Greene Street and Triebner Street in the Buckingham Estates subdivision are among the latest to receive the new signs.
The municipality is encouraging residents to explore the interactive map and learn more about the stories behind the names.
