MORTERM, LTD.
SUPPORTS HEROES PARK IN MONTREAL’S WEST ISLAND
Windsor, ON, October 16, 2014 – Morterm, Ltd. is proud to
support a new park in Montreal’s West Island honouring members of the Armed
Forces, police officers, firefighters and first responders inaugurated
Wednesday, October 15th with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The park marks the 100th anniversary of the
commencement of the First World War and pays tribute to those who serve Canada
during war and peace. Major Richard Gratton of the Canadian Armed Forces, the
source of inspiration in the creation of the park, worked with students from
the nearby Beaconsfield High School and community volunteers to see the project
completed.
When approached by Dennis Pfeffer of FEDNAV, Canada’s
largest ocean-going dry-bulk ship owning and chartering group to support this
important project, it was an easy decision to make. “It is a great initiative,
and we are honoured to support the cause,” said Teresa Boutet, Vice President
for Morterm, Ltd. “Our company owns and operates both a marine cargo terminal
and a short-line railroad, and we know our ‘heroes’ are absolutely key in
keeping our facilities, our cargo, our team, our community and our country
safe.”
