After 23 years in relative obscurity the Sapper’s Memorial is being placed back into active service in Flin Flon.  In a release Morley Naylor and Frank Gira from the Squadron Historical Committee report the memorial which was originally dedicated in May of 1989 by 21st Field Engineer Squadron, Canadian Military Engineers, was placed in a prominent location near the main entrance of the Flin Flon Armory.  It is dedicated to all those that have served in the military in Flin Flon since 1940. They report the memorial remained standing in its original location since the closure of the Field Engineer Squadron in 1995 and was only removed for construction and parking lot preparations for the new Co-op store.

The memorial was stored over the construction period and with the support of the Co-op management, directors and staff has now been placed in a prominent location in their parking lot area with an official rededication ceremony taking place tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock.
