A Toronto lawyer is hoping to find a way to preserve war memorials at two Hudson’s Bay stores.

E. Patrick Shea, who also sits on the senate of the 48th Highlanders of Canada and is the RCAF Foundation’s secretary, said he wants the displays commemorating Bay and Simpsons workers who died in the Second World War to be saved.
