Another gift to London from the Dutch

Apparently, Canadian soldiers, especially a detachment from London, Ontario, played a big role in the liberation of the Netherlands at the end of the Second World War in 1945. Fully 76 years after the event, the Dutch Canadian Society of London and District is still finding ways to say thank you.

I believe the tulip beds in Springbank were a gift from the Dutch Canadian group. When the tulips are in bloom each spring, many Londoners make a point of stopping by the park to check out the colourful display.

This year there are benches especially designed for the tulip bed area in the park. A neighbour thought so much of the pretty benches that she stopped by my home to tell me about them. Tomorrow I'll run two images of the benches.
