How to help
Our sincerest thanks to everyone who contributed money, photos, stories, ideas, in-kind services, and encouragement that enabled the community to build The Torch – a physical monument, accompanied by an online one, to remember people connected closely with the Lower Saint Lawrence community who selflessly served or serve today. The virtual monument (heritagelsl.ca/commemoration-remembrance) will always be a work in progress to remember the past and thank those who put their lives at risk for others.
