Coroners Office: Canadian Forces Base Trenton

Canadian Forces Base Trenton: The colourful mural, featuring a dove and a field of poppies, was painted as a symbol of respect and a call for peace by a community youth group in 2010. Sometime over the weekend, it was obliterated by spray paint, sparking a flurry of outrage, according to The Star. The mural painted in a back alley behind the coroners office near Yonge and College streets marked the final stop for hearses carrying the remains of fallen soldiers from Canadian Forces Base Trenton. Dozens of families who lost loved ones in Afghanistan have made that journey, ending at the coroners office and A mural created to honour the last stop of the Highway of Heroes in Toronto has been vandalized in what police are describing as a despicable act. There is an unwritten rule that you dont vandalize any piece of artwork, but something like this is a national treasure. What this person did is basically an act of treason, said Chris Ecklund, CEO and president of Canadian Heroes, an organization dedicated to raising awareness and support for Canadian troops and their families.
