Summerlandº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s Remembrance banners have been installed around the community.

The site for each banner has been carefully determined. Because of his extensive knowledge of Summerlandº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s history, Dave Hill has determined the location of the banners and heritage signs in Summerland.

The banners show Summerlandº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s fallen soldiers.

Almost every banners site has a story.

The Michael Daniel banner is near the former location of the Daniel store in Lowertown.
