On Remembrance Day, we pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
Did you know: Every street sign that features a poppy was named after a veteran? As you go about your day, let the sight of a poppy on a street sign remind you to pause and reflect on the history of our region.
📍Real Martin Drive is named in honour of Real Martin, born in 1914, who moved to Fort McMurray with his family at the age of three. A proud member of the Canadian Military, Real was also a founding member of the Royal Canadian Legion. In his retirement, he contributed to our community as a member of the Wood Buffalo Community Identification Committee, which is responsible for naming our streets and landmarks.
