Memorial Wall- Design Changes!
As you see our wall has undergone some changes. We have had a busy few months with several Review groups seeing our design and making suggestions to have it more ‘artistic’. The graphic above depicts the 4 mountains that the Canadians fought on in Hong Kong.
The landscaping will be similar to what was proposed with prairie grasses, red granite from Quebec and the black granite for the wall – it will be an awesome sight for all to see.
We are now working on the graphics for the wall. With the help of Lauren Heinrichs (granddaughter of Ferd Poitras, WG, HK vet deceased and daughter of Pam Heinrichs – MB Ed committee) we have an expert to work with the graphics group in Ottawa.
The geotechnical work has been done and we await the design foundation from a structural engineer in Ottawa, Rick Cunliffe.
In the meantime donations continue to come in and we greatly appreciate all the support - we have just passed $136,000.
That’s it for now we will keep you informed of developments
