Trailside Memorial Sparks Online Debate Along the Gorge Waterway
The unauthorized plaque appeared directly above the door of the public restroom facility situated along the Gorge Waterway near the Selkirk Trestle. According to reporting by CHEK News, the location is a high-traffic zone heavily utilized by local residents walking and cycling in and out of downtown Victoria.
While the bold signage quickly caught the eyes of daily commuters and recreational trail users alike, it has also triggered widespread discussion across various social media platforms.

Despite the viral attention generated online, municipal authorities confirmed the installation is entirely unofficial. According to statements provided to CHEK News by the City of Victoria, local officials only became aware of the placard on a Saturday afternoon.
City representatives stated they did not immediately possess further information regarding who manufactured the sign, when it was installed, or how long it had remained in place. As municipal crews review the unauthorized alteration, the identity of the person responsible for dedicating the Victoria public washroom to the former U.S. president remains completely unknown.
