The Windsor Police Service and its association are contributing to the $6000 restoration of a historic mural.
The 22 X 16 ft painting of the Union Jack was moved to the Tilston Armoury from the downtown armoury.
The Scottish Borders Foundation, a fundraising arm of the Essex and Kent Scottish Regiment, is raising funds for the restoration.
Former Windsor Police Chief Glenn Stannard is with the foundation and reached out to police for support.

He says the mural was posted at the downtown armouries since at least 1940.
"Over the past 80 years it's suffered damage, it needs cleaning, it needs restoring and because it's a painting, it's artwork. So we have a project to take it down, restore it, we have a professional restorer and put it back up"

Stannard says anyone who wants to help can make a charitable donation.
"We're going to get people that want to make a personal donation, which they can do and they get a tax receipt for it and anybody that wishes to do that would go to the Scottish Borders Foundation, which is an arm of the Essex and Kent, which I'm on the Scottish Borders Foundation"
He says the mural has historic significance for all the military personnel who have served from Windsor.
"Not to mention all of the service people who left our city that had some family affiliation that marched under the Union Jack, now obviously under the Canadian flag. It's artwork and it's history"
The police service is contributing $500 to the project and the police association made the same contribution.
Stannard says anyone wanting to make a donation can contact the regiment.
