Every year staff of the Corporation of North Huron illegally dump snow directly on the steps and sidewalks around the Wingham Cenotaph and refuse to remove it. This horrid disrespect could be mitigated by staff taking a fraction of a second to divert their snowblower chute away, but it is clear they don’t think our Veterans are even worth that tiny effort.
Our Veterans crossed the globe to defend our Ideals, and fought and died for the Freedom of strangers in another land. Everyday people come to Wingham to visit the Cenotaph and reflect on the sacrifices these Heroes were willing to make for Freedom and Equality, hopefully inspiring them to action. The politicians only show up once a year for a photo opportunity.
Town staff’s deliberate dumping of snow on the steps and sidewalks is against their own by-law, yet by-law enforcement refuses to confront town staff and make them stop. A true act of cowardice and without a doubt dereliction of Duty.
Please honor your Oath of “Stand on guard for Thee”, you sang it hundreds of times. “Thee” is not the politician of the day, but our Constitutional Ideals of Freedom and Equality which some people believe is worth flighting and dying for.
If you think our Fallen Veterans, and those coming to Honor them, are worth the tiny effort of diverting their snowblower chute away from the steps and sidewalks around the Cenotaph, then please take a few minutes of your time to contact town hall and demand they stop disrespecting our Heroes.
