About the Hampton veterans banner project
A community initiative: The program is led by volunteers such as Lyla McCrea and Bill Campbell, with sponsorship from families and local businesses.
Personal tributes: Each banner honours a specific local veteran, displaying their photo, name, and details of their service in the armed forces or RCMP.
When they are displayed: The banners are publicly mounted on poles throughout the community before Remembrance Day. They are then removed and stored for the winter.
Origin of the idea: These types of veteran banner projects, now common across the country, were first inspired by a similar display in Saint John, New Brunswick.
