Downtown Pembroke is already looking to Remembrance Day. The Pembroke Business Improvement Area has launched their Veteran Banner program that will see veterans who are connected to Pembroke honoured. Leading up to Remembrance Day the banners will be displayed on the light poles on Pembroke Street West from MacKay to Christie Street, from mid-October Until November 12th. Manager of the PBIA Bethea Summers says they have lots of poles to full.
Summers says the PBIA is asking for community members or businesses to sponsor a veteran that they would like to see honoured on a banner. The sponsorship cost is $120 per banner with proceeds going towards the Pembroke Legion Poppy fund. Sponsorship forms, payments and photos must be submitted by September 11th. Info packages and order forms can be found online at www.downtownpembroke.ca or picked up at the PBIA office inside the Phoenix Centre.
