About this Course

Purchase a banner in memory of a veteran: these memorial banners feature your loved one's name and military service information on a remembrance-themed design. Please note that all banners have the same poppy motif. In order to participate in this program, individuals must have served with the Armed Forces of Canada or as a Canadian citizen in an allied nation’s armed forces. The banners are displayed along Esquimalt Road, Craigflower Road and near CFB Esquimalt in late October/early November. They are on display for 3-4 weeks, or until just before the winter holiday season. The banners contain the name of deceased service personnel and the conflict they served in. All banners have the same poppy motif. We will contact purchasers in late September to review the banner information to ensure the design is accurate. Due to the number of available spaces, there are a limited number of banners available on a first-come, first serve basis. The banners are produced locally and the price is set on a cost-recovery basis of $135. Banners will be mounted for 3 years after which the banner will be given to the purchaser.
