Letter to the Editor: Nothing to Celebrate King’s Coronation at Victoria Hall

In Letter to Editor

Today is May 6, 2023 and it is the coronation of King Charles 111 and as I passed our town hall,

Victoria Hall, I was very surprised to see that there was no sign that there was any recognition of this occasion. Our town hall is named in recognition of Queen Victoria and actually purchased a Union Jack and actually planted it in the soil by the sign in front of the town hall. Very disappointed by the lack of recognition of this event.
