In the fall of 2015 the Grade 8 class at Alcona Glen Public school embarked on an inquiry project designed to further the class’s investigative skills while honouring the lives and memories of local Veterans. Within Walking distance of Alcona Glen there are 25 streets named for WWI & II Veterans. Students researched the lives of the veterans and summarized them, attaching them to a map of the community. This project honours Cecil Taggart, born June 20, 1899 and died May 17, 1941 at age 42. Taggart was only sixteen years old when he enlisted, so he changed his year of birth to 1897. He served in the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, service number B81562. Taggart had four children wuth his wife, Ruby Thayer.He is interred in the Veteran's section of Toronto's Prospect Cemetery.
