Find the water tower !
Talk about going from zero to hero ... I give you Brandon's circa 1930 water tower.
Decommissioned last decade, it was considered surplus to the city's needs and placed on their 2012 demolition schedule. A group of East End residents, who grew up the shadow of the structure, successfully campaigned to have it removed from the list at October's city council meeting.
Fast forward a few weeks and the water tower is now on TV ! When locations were being scouted for a new Molson's ad celebrating winter and the game of hockey the water tower, which sits on the grounds of the East End Community Centre, was chosen !
The ad was released yesterday - eighty-one years almost to the day) after the tower first went into service. Check it out here and watch for the tower at the 38 and 50 second marks ! Here's a bit of inside information ... BRANDON was painted over for the and repainted soon after !
