Robert Deboer has been working on this project for the past 15 years, and it was not until he took it to Chris Friel that the project was able to move forward with the City of Brantford Parks and Recreation Department. Micheal St. Amant president of Brant Historical Society was in attendance as Robert Deboer unveils the plaque located in Lorne Park on the Fordview Trail near the Lorne Bridge.
