A unique tribute to local veterans and those who have served their country continues to grow in Tillsonburg, with plans underway to expand the Legion Banner Project in 2027.
The project, launched in 2022 by the Tillsonburg Legion, Branch 153, currently features approximately 140 banners displayed throughout the community.
The banners can be seen along Quarter Town Line, stretching from Baldwin Street all the way to North Street, creating a meaningful display that recognizes and honours veterans. Frank Moore of Tillsonburg Legion Branch 153 says the project has continued to grow since its introduction, and the Legion is now looking at ways to accommodate even more banners.
With all available poles along the current route now being used, the next phase of the project will see the display expand onto Baldwin Street in 2027, heading east.
The expansion will provide additional opportunities to recognize veterans while continuing to build on what has become a distinctive community tribute.
Since getting underway in 2022, the Tillsonburg Legion Banner Project has become a visible reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by those who have served, ensuring their service and dedication remain recognized throughout the community.
