William Merrifield's Legacy to Live on Through Street Renaming
Foster Drive is officially getting a new name following a decision by Sault Ste. Marie City Council on Monday.
The street will become Merrifield Way, honouring a local First World War veteran whose extraordinary service earned him both the Military Medal and the Victoria Cross.
The renaming recognizes Merrifield's bravery, sacrifice and lasting connection to the community. Representatives from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 25 and members of the Merrifield family were also acknowledged during the council meeting.
The new name will give the decorated veteran a lasting place in the city's landscape, with the street running alongside City Hall.
