Park may be named in memory of veteran with Newmarket roots

A public park is a place to connect with nature and enjoy the great outdoors.

And perhaps soon, visitors to Dayfoot Drive Park in Halton Hills may have the opportunity to contemplate the life of one of only 23 Black Canadian soldiers who fought in the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917, and served as company sergeant major at the Newmarket Training Camp 23 from 1940 to 1944.
