Warren Moore, left, of the Huron Stewardship Council, Doug Scrimgeour for the Greenway
Trail and Bev Elliott of Communities in Bloom were at the Greenway Trail on Saturday morning
to discuss the proposed memorial gardens. Steward rangers will be assisting in getting the
project going. There will be a natural area to the right of the gardens, which will have a trail,
and park benches. Though in the early stages the gardens will be a way to honour memorials
or celebrations. Donations can be made to PO Box 516 c/o Memorial Gardens, Blyth. (Vicky
