Our chapter was given the opportunity to support the Royal Canadian Legion Nanton Branch #80 with the beautiful cross walk honouring veterans. It is absolutely beautiful!
On the day of the Royal Canadian Legion’s 100th Anniversary, Friday July 17, 2026, Nanton’s Commemorative Veterans’ Crosswalk was officially dedicated by the organizations and supporters who helped make this meaningful project possible.
The crosswalk is located at the entrance to the Nanton Cenotaph, Bomber Command Museum of Canada (BCMC), and Nanton Community Centre, creating a lasting tribute to the veterans who have served our country.
The project was made possible through a partnership between Nanton Branch 80 of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Bomber Command Museum of Canada, Halifax 57 Rescue Canada, Nanton Masonic Lodge #17, IODE Evolve and Annie May Jackson Chapters, and the Town of Nanton, who came together to share the cost of the project.
The Commemorative Veterans’ Crosswalk is a visible and lasting way to honour the service and sacrifice of Canada’s veterans and recognize their important place in our community.
