Deputy Mayor Bill Sheppard says it’s located next to the town hall at 140 Main Street, which had an old cabin on the land, and council has been eyeing the property for past several years before finally getting the chance to buy it.
The dream to have a Memorial Garden in a community on the south shore of the Bay of Islands started several years ago. Tomorrow the town of York Harbour will celebrate with a Grand Opening at 1p.m. Deputy Mayor Bill Sheppard says it’s located next to the town hall at 140 Main Street and there was an old cabin there. He says council has been eyeing the property for the past several years and finally had a chance to buy it and now their vision is coming to fruition.
Sheppard says the small cabin lot has been transformed into something beautiful that will always be a part of town hall, saying it includes benches with placards, and monuments to people of the community they have lost.
There will be special guests, a flag raising ceremony with local veterans, as well as a ribbon cutting ceremony. Refreshments will be offered and a tour of the garden, which is also wheelchair accessible.
