Memorial set to be completed next year.
The City of St. Catharines is breaking ground on a memorial to fallen firefighters.
The memorial is set to be complete early next year and will be located at a parkette bordered by Race, Carlisle and McGuire streets.
It will pay tribute to local firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
"The Firefighters Memorial Task Force is excited to celebrate as we begin construction on this important monument that will honour St. Catharines fallen firefighters," said task force Chair Barry Katzman. "We’ve been working diligently for well over a year raising funds and we believe with the outpouring of support we continue to receive from the community that we will soon reach our goal."
Anyone who wants to help raise money for the project can buy memorial elements or make a donation here.
