The Royal Canadian Legion – Burlington Branch 60 is now accepting applications for its 2022 Honour Our Veterans banner program.
In 2019, in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day, the Legion placed colourful banners on lightposts lining the streets in downtown Burlington, around City Hall, that honoured local veterans and their families — and have continued the tradition annually since.
The banners are displayed for one, 3-week period, once a year for two years along Brant Street and Lakeshore Road, leading up to Remembrance Day (Nov. 11).
Each banner is 24 inch (61 cm) by 52 inch (132 cm).
To participate in the Honour Our Veterans Banner Program, please complete and submit an application form (you can download a copy of the form here: 2022 Honour Our Veterans BANNER PROGRAM).
The Legion notes that the safe storage of the banners is the responsibility of the applicant and that you will be notified of the dates for display and removal. There are a limited number of spots available — the deadline for submissions is Sept. 9, 2022.
The Royal Canadian Legion – Branch 60 is located at 828 Legion Rd. and can be reached by phone at 905-639-6400 (office)or905-639-6060(lounge), or by email at CanadianLegion60@bellnet.ca
