The North Bay and area community continues to come to grips with the passing of 13-year-old Noah Dugas.
The young hockey player passed away due to a stroke on Nov. 13 while receiving rehabilitation in a Toronto area hospital.
This weekend, friends rallied again to honour Noah by setting up a memorial underneath the digital sign at North Bay Memorial Gardens.
Erin Breadmore, whose son Cole went to school for years with Noah, helped create the unique memorial.
"Noah’s class and dear friends have put together a memorial to honour Noah under the sign at Memorial Gardens," stated Breadmore via social media.
"We would like to invite any other families, groups, teams or individuals that would like to honour Noah to please do!"

A table was set up underneath the digital billboard on Saturday with pens and paper available to write messages or send well wishes which could be slid into a box to be shared with the family. Visitors were encouraged to post photos on a billboard set up as well.
"Please feel free to leave candles (battery operated), flowers or any other items you would like," she continued.
"The memorial with remain there for however long it is needed."
Groups and teams were asked to call Erin to organize a time on the weekend to pay respects at the site.
