Van Diest memorial vandalized in Armstrong

LETTER: Solar lights missing since May, RCMP notified

I would like to express my gratitude towards the group of people who help maintain Taylor’s Memorial Trail in Armstrong.

It means so much to my sister and Kristie for what you do in Taylor’s memory. But it seems that we have fallen victims to vandalism.

The trail is illuminated by 25 solar powered lights that really accent the trail and provides safety to the trail users.

The trail is now missing five of these lights that someone has removed.

I really hope this person enjoys the lights as much as we all have.

But remember this, you have taken these items from a memorial trail. Do the right thing.

Paul Alberd,

Taylor’s uncle
