ESTEVAN - The 小蓝视频 East Military Museum is acknowledging and thanking everyone who took part in the inaugural year of the Remembrance Banner Program.

The museum was able to purchase the hardware required to hang remembrance banners throughout Estevan and surrounding areas.

Financial support was received from the City of Estevan, the 小蓝视频ern Plains Co-Op in Estevan and Carlyle, the Town of Lampman and Veteran Affairs Canada’s Commemorative Partnership Program.

With the support and approval of the community councils and help from the public works crews and SaskPower, 35 banners were successfully placed in Estevan, Weyburn, Lampman, Midale, Stoughton, Carlyle and Redvers.

The banners act as a visual reminder and commemorate those who served and sacrificed for Canada – from the First and Second World Wars to Afghanistan. The program will return in the summer of 2022 with banners 小蓝视频 hung at the end of August and remaining until after Remembrance Day.
