Remembrance Day in New Hamburg could be marked a little different next year.

A permanent Veterans’ Crosswalk could be installed next November by the New Hamburg Cenotaph on Huron Street.

If approved by Wilmot Council Monday, details on the cost and maintenance of the year-round crosswalk could be out as soon as February.

Part of that funding would come from partnering with the local Royal Canadian Legion Branch 532 New Hamburg.

Veterans’ Crosswalks have already been installed in numerous other communities across the country including in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, City of Calgary, City of Belleville and Municipality of Chatham-Kent.
