We've applied.........
Originally no cost was discussed other than building a
suitable base. Then it went to $10.000, now it is $15,000 plus plus. I have asked for a final price and can't get a reply. This will eliminate a lot of small Legions and Museums that have signed up. The vehicles are totally stripped, inside and out. No lights, no tool brackets of any kind, front hatch eliminated and flat pieces everywhere. I will post a picture later today. Peter S

Loved those pics from Australia of the Leo monuments being placed. Would love to see a few of those around here.

please let me try to ease the sting of the nay-sayers...
It can be done...there are a lot of major sponsors on board. These sponsors and the money put up by the communities will average out many of the costs. Our city councils are very supportive and have offered up a large portion of the funding. Local support in the building industry will be used to move the vehicles, for crane services, and to build the pads. The spark for the project (Tom Jenkins) is the HCol for the RHFC. Many of the initial planning team are on the Regimental council. (including me) Also including Bernie Melloul (of Melloul/Blamey Construction), who's company did the engineering for the pads. Two options - flat pad and rough terrain. These drawings will be provided and use 'em or don't. Fred-town got the first...and we won't get one soon for the reasons stated above...

 Clearly the article in the link that I posted states it is Oromocto and not Fredericton. Am I mistaken? Quote:
And I am not a naysayer but rather just wondering why a town in close proximity to a large CAF Base needs a reminder that Canada has a military! As well, there is a move to have Fredericton receive a Leo I C2 soon. Part of RCAC 75th this year. regards Darrell
