I can't believe that we think spending $250,000.00 to save a dead tree makes sense, while historical pieces are left to go to ruin. The City has no plan or budget for the maintenance, repair, restoration, or long term conservation of historic monuments. [P class=t10headerBody]The Angel of Victory is part of the first wave of Canadian war memorials that followed the end of the Great War. As soldiers who died overseas were buried where they fell, memorials were erected in communities across the country as a public remembrance.
[P class=t10headerBody]A tree is nature...when a tree dies, it's nature. A dead tree has no historical value. For god's sake....take a picture of it, frame it...and let it go.
