Controversial armoured vehicle to be set up in Sackville Memorial Park, upsets residents
While residents agree veterans deserve to be commemorated, some worry the armoured vehicle glorifies war
A Sackville group is opposing the installation of a second armoured fighting vehicle in the town's memorial park.
The retired armoured fighting vehicle, known as a Cougar AVGP, was given to the town from the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise's) regiment. Sackville town council voted to accept the gift in February and plans to install the armoured vehicle in the Sackville Memorial Park this summer.
But people living in the neighbourhood said they weren't aware of the new addition until workers started prepping a corner of the park for a concrete pad that will house the six-wheeled armoured vehicle.
The park already features an armoured vehicle called a Ferret, a six metre cenotaph with plaques memorializing local soldiers who died in previous wars, a propeller and an anchor.
