An “Honour Our Veterans Banner Program” has been put together for the first time in Mississippi Mills. The banners pay tribute to local Veterans and are displayed in communities for all to see. The committee is chaired by Mary Rozenberg, committee members include Peggy Byrne, Brian Leonard, Bill Lawrence, John Dalgity, Mike Guthrie, Paul Laforce, Matt Mould and Pat Rushton. The program will be similar to the banner programs in Perth and Carleton Place as well as many other communities across Canada. The group is currently doing the groundwork on the program, they will start off small with a few banners this fall and open it up to the public in 2025. Currently they are raising money for the project by with “Thank a Veteran” licence plate covers which are available at the Branch for a $10 donation.
Stay tuned for more information on this project and at a later date!
