Zengel Way, a beautiful cul-de-sac of Parkside Place dedicated in honor of Ray Zengel who fought in the Great War. Born as Raphael Louis Zengel - (1894 - 1977), he enlisted in the 45th Battalion. Upon arriving in France he was drafted to the 5th Canadian Infantry Battalion. Zengel was awarded many medals for his commitment to bravery and his unselfish acts, and his most recognized feat earned him the coveted Victoria Cross when during the Amiens fighting east of Warvillers he sacrificed his own safety.
