View is looking down the border to the peace towers and chapel
The peace towers The bell tower
The chapel is the only building that is actually built on the border with half in the US and half in Canada. It was found out after it was built that it is illegal for a building to be in two countries. Therefore a special law was passed by both countries for an exception.
These pieces of steel are from the World Trade Center towers and presently stored in this location. A design is almost complete for a permanent memorial and completion should be soon.
We arrived in Boissevain, MB and had a lunch followed by a horse and Wagon tour of the towns murals. The local people are very proud of their flowers and cleanliness of their town. All the flowers, public gardens and parks are maintained by volunteers.
