Meadow Lake honours veterans and first responders all year, not just on Remembrance Day
In Meadow Lake every day is Remembrance Day.
George Wood, banner chair with Northern Light Masonic Lodge told meadowlakeNOW the partnership with the Royal Canadian Legion #76 and the City of Meadow Lake is what helped spearhead the banner program.
The 48 banners hang from streetlights and fly along Highway 55 between Green Lake and Meadow Lake to honour the sacrifice of past and present veterans and armed forces. Each banner carries the name and photo of a soldier local to the area.
A number commemorate veterans of the Flying Dust band, Wood said. He added if anyone in the community has a family member who served or continues to serve, they are welcome to participate in the program at a $200 cost.
