Fred Light Museum to honour veterans with special banner unveiling
The Fred Light Museum in Battleford is hosting a special banner unveiling Nov. 1, to honour veterans of the community and area who served for their country in the world wars.
There will be 25 banners hung from lampposts on 22nd Street in Battleford. Each banner is double-sided as a total of 50 veterans will be honoured.
People of the community were invited to sponsor a relative or loved one to be featured on a banner at the event.
Manager at the Fred Light, Bernadette Leslie, said the community’s response to the event in its first year has been a welcome sight. She noted the submission process of those applying to have their loved one represented went by without a hitch, with all 50 available spots filled quickly.
