After raising more than $700,000, the Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial Task Force is seeking support from the community to complete the project and install the memorial later this year.
Mayor Walter Sendzik and fundraising chair Greg Wight kicked off the community fundraising campaign with a donation from the Lynch family, who lost a father and son in a construction accident building the fourth Welland Canal in 1925.
The financial goal is 1.2 million dolalrs.
Donations of $10 or more will receive a tax receipt.
Donations are now being accepted online at www.stcatharines.ca/donate.
Donations can also be made in person at the Welland Canal Centre and St. Catharines Museum or in person at the Citizen’s First counter at City Hall.
