Central Huron banner program honours veterans

The Remembrance Day banner program in Central Huron is being expanded.

Community Improvement Coordinator Angela Smith says the program honours local veterans who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

“We saw six that were done the first year and then we were up to 25 last year. They were all in Clinton, downtown Clinton and this year we are expanding. We have availability now in others as well,” said Smith.

This year they have five banners each for Londesborough, Auburn and Holmesville.

Family members who wish to have a banner honouring a loved one should apply at the Clinton Town Hall.

“We need a photograph of their loved one, the branch of military service that they were in, for example, Army, Navy, Air Force and the years of service, or even the conflict that they were in. Most have been World War veterans but we're accepting others as well,” added Smith.

The deadline for ordering those banners is Friday, September 28.
