Memorial Banners

Any veteran, can be portrayed on the banners.  A veteran is any person who is currently serving or who has honourably served in the Canadian Armed Forces, the Commonwealth or its wartime allies, or as a regular member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or as a Peace Officer in a Special Duty area or on a Special Duty Operation, or who has served in the Merchant Navy or Ferry Command during wartime.  The person must have some connection to the Lethbridge area (born, grew up here, or lived here, or is related to a current resident of this area). Note:  if the veteran is still living they must provide consent.

Any individual, family, organization, or company may sponsor a banner. Your name will appear on the banner (not logos) as a sponsor.

The veteran banners will be sponsored by individuals, families, organizations or companies but the ownership of the banner will remain with the Royal Canadian Legion Souris Branch #3. The Remembrance Committee will be responsible for producing the banner, ensuring banners are put in place in the lead-up to each Remembrance Day, taken down, and placed in storage

Please provide a high resolution photo (300 dpi or greater) of the veteran in uniform that can be enlarged to fit on a banner. The following guidelines apply.  Digital images are preferred, however, physical photos are allowed and they will be scanned in high-resolution to be used for the banner.

All the banners will have the same uniform design.  The only changes will be to the name, service/ branch and photo.

While the amount may very from year to year, we aim to produce several new banners for each Remembrance period.

Banners will be displayed yearly typically from mid-October through Remembrance Day and taken down as soon as practical after November 11th.
