Media Release: Clean Sweep: Fall 2020 - https://mailchi.mp/n/fall-community-clean-sweep-day-3009178

Alex Luey was a friend to many and will be forever remembered as an inspiring and caring young man with a passion for sports, especially hockey. A cherry blossom tree and plaque now stand in memorial for Alex at the Gale Centre. A small ceremony took place outside the arena on September 28th for a few family and friends, including his former teammates, Mayor Jim Diodati, and other local dignitaries.... The beautiful cherry blossom tree was donated by Sassafras Farms of Welland, with help from Niagara Falls Cemeteries. The memorial plaque and donations to three charities close to Alex's heart (the War Amps, McMaster Children's Hospital, and Ronald McDonald Charities - South Central Ontario), were funded by City of Niagara Falls colleagues and employees of Cat Luey, Alex's mother. Special thanks to Carol Cooney, for organizing the memorial, and to City staff for coordinating and supporting the event. #lueystrong
