Housing in Legion proposal Main council concern is new cenotaph spot SArAH PAyne

The Port Moody Legion Branch 119 is moving forward with its long-awaited redevelopment, including plans for a five-storey mixed-use site, complete with a new Legion. And while city council expressed support for the plan Tuesday, many were concerned about relocating the cenotaph off Clarke Street to Spring Street. Coun. Diana Dilworth said in attending the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Legion
for the past 20 years, she has seen the crowds paying their respects to those who served in wars grow to thousands of people. “At this point, we need both sides of Clarke Street in front of the Legion and the entire parking lot to house the people that come to pay their respects,” Dilworth said. “My fear with the location of the cenotaph tucked into the plaza at the back, it will make the event not as inclusive, and not as many people will participate.” The application from TL Housing Solutions Ltd. calls for a five-storey building that includes 14 retail units, 84 residential units, a new Legion facility. see APPLICANT, page A6
