Memorial Banner Program 2024
Purchase a banner in memory of a veteran.
The banners feature their loved one’s name and other information on a remembrance-themed design. The banners are displayed along Esquimalt Road, Craigflower Road and near CFB Esquimalt in late October. They are on display until just before the winter holiday season then stored until the following year.
The banners contain the name of deceased service personnel and the conflict they served in. All banners have the same poppy motif.
Due to the number of available spaces, there were 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.
Banners are mounted in late October to late November.
Program overview
Starting spring 2021, residents had the opportunity to take part in a memorial banner program. The banners feature their loved one’s name and other information on a remembrance-themed design.
The program was initiated by council in 2019 then was paused due to COVID-19. On April 9, 2021—Vimy Ridge Day—people interested in taking part began ordering their banners.
