The Simcoe Legion Veterans' Banner Program
The Norfolk Historical Society and the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 79 Simcoe are proud to announce the launch of the 2027 Simcoe Veterans Banner Program, a community initiative dedicated to honouring and remembering local veterans through a public display of commemorative street banners.
The program will create a living streetscape of remembrance, featuring double-sided outdoor banners displaying the image, name, and service information of local veterans. Installed annually during the Period of Remembrance, the banners will serve as a visible tribute to the men and women from the Simcoe area who served Canada. They will be displayed along Norfolk Street North, forming a pathway of remembrance that begins at the Norfolk War Memorial, Carillon Tower.
For more information, or to download the application form, please visit the Veterans Banner Program page at the Legion.
