A street named in the honour of a former mayor was unveiled yesterday in the town of Arborg.

Deputy Mayor Rob Thorsteinson shares it felt right to name the street Bert Kindzierski Lane.

"We had repaved a back lane downtown that used to be CP property. Bert had always wanted to get that repaired and we were never able to because we never owned the property but we do now. So we got it paved and we thought it'd be appropriate to name it after Bert."

Prior to the reveal.Thorsteinson says members of council, the public and Kindzierski's family came out to the unveiling and they saw a crowd of 50 or so. He notes Kindzierski was both pleased and humbled to be honoured in such a way.

Kindzierski served as mayor from 1987 to 2002 and Thorsteinson notes he did a lot for the community.
