Hudson’s Bay has gifted several war memorials from its former stores to the Royal Canadian Legion and TD Bank Group.
Franco Perugini, a senior vice-president of real estate and legal at the defunct retailer, says memorial plaques in HBC’s Calgary, Winnipeg and Vancouver stores were all donated to local branches of the Royal Canadian Legion.
