For one Stayner resident, the Canadian flag isn’t just a symbol, it’s a vivid image in his mind, one he’s carried with him ever since he completely lost his sight.

Bob Lowe, a longtime business owner of Dalton R. Lowe and Sons, a gravel crushing and trucking company unveiled two custom-painted gravel hoppers, each dazzling in Canadian pride.

One hopper features a black silhouette of Terry Fox, and the other, a beef cow in support of the “Buy Canadian” movement.

“I feel 110 per cent proud to be Canadian,” said Lowe to CTV News on Sunday. “I am proud to be living in Canada and I love the town I live in.”

Lowe, who operates the Stayner gravel company founded by his father, Dalton, 73 years ago has been blind since 2016.
