Renovations unveiled in Bruderheim

Bruderheim Queen’s Park renovations unveiled

BY JANA SEMENIUK

Renovations to the Queen’s Park in Bruderheim, which began earlier this summer, were finally unveiled in a short ceremony Nov. 5.

Bruderheim director of legislative services, Sherry Cote, said the park has not been upgraded since it was built in 1978 and was long overdue for a renovation. She added that the unveiling ceremony was originally planned for mid Sept. but was postponed before news came that the Queen passed away Sept. 8.

“We were actually supposed to have the unveiling the week after she passed away, it was already scheduled for that weekend, but we had to postpone it because of other things that were happening,” she said. “So it (Queen’s death) has a big significance to us that we actually got to redo that (park) and (now) do something in her memory.”

Queen’s Park was initiated by Bruderheim AG Society, and named after Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Bruderheim with Prince Philip in 1978. She stood in the centre of the park and signed her name in a special book constructed for the event. The book, pen, and several pictures are all on display in the museum inside Walker School.

Meanwhile, Cote said the project also changed slightly in light of the

“It changed the project a bit in terms of doing some research of what her favourite flowers were. Because that has significance, which is lily of the valley, by the way,” she said. “The project is important, but it actually has a closure on it too. Because that's the end of an era.”

Cote said the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee grant, worth $5,000, helped fund the project.

“And I think somebody up there is watching us because now all of a sudden money was available to do it because we couldn't figure out where in the budget, we could do it because we knew it was going to be a major cost,” she said.

Cote added that a special flag commemorating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is currently flying in the park and will stay until the end of the year when it will be replaced with a new Queen’s Park flag.
