Permission has been granted by Entegrus and the County of Middlesex to attach\u00a0powder-coated, laser-cut, metal display ‘banners’ to their utility poles along Frank and Metcalfe Street west. \u00a0This is the route from the cenotaph, past the Legion Hall, to the Strathroy Cemetery.<\/p>\n

Each Memorial Banner is approximately 24″ wide and 42″ tall. \u00a0Each banner is different, but they have these common features: the Lions logo in a circle at the top, the words Strathroy and Caradoc to represent our community, a large circular area that has the crest\/badge\/emblem of each different battalion, the name of the battalion, and at the bottom, the name of the sponsor of the banner. \u00a0All graphics are in full colours and made of the same durable material used for the images on road signs.<\/p>\n

These pole-mounted metal ‘banners are placed on poles starting at the Strathroy Cemetery, continue along Metcalfe Street West toward and eventually past the Legion Hall and ending at the cenotaph on Frank Street.<\/p>\n

The first banner, the entry banner recognizing the sacrifice of our veterans, was sponsored by the Strathroy-Caradoc Lions Club, but a previous CAO of the Municipality, who was subsequently terminated from the position, refused to allow it to be placed there. Therefore, it is still hidden in the parking lot of the Legion Hall.<\/p>\n
