On Saturday, October 17, 2020, we honoured the remarkable Fern Blodgett Sunde, the first Canadian female wireless radio operator, and unveiled a new commemorative statue.
The life-size bronze monument was created by Tyler Fauvelle, a Canadian professional sculptor, who incredible work captures every detail and perfectly symbolizes Fern's courageous journey. The event is the culmination of the partnership, hard work and generosity of the committee members who took an idea of great merit and saw it through to fruition.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, in-person attendance was limited. However, Cobourg Media live-streamed the event on Facebook and YouTube. Missed the live-stream? Click the link below to watch.
