“Faced with declining revenues and increasing costs, our members voted to dissolve the association and sell the property at this time to create a legacy fund that will continue to support veterans and their families into the future,” says Dan Ayotte, interim president of the Association.
The Naval Association fostered a spirit of fellowship and assistance among those who have served and supporters of those who have served in the naval services of Canada, the British Commonwealth and its Allies. It preserved the memory of service members who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of their country. And it supported charitable organizations in the community.
In addition to creating a trust fund to support veterans and their families, the Naval Association is leaving a legacy in another way. The Naval Association is transferring its property to the City of Peterborough to become public land that’s next to Beavermead Park and a future extension of the trail network around Little Lake
