SummerlandÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Remembrance banners have been installed around the community.
The site for each banner has been carefully determined. Because of his extensive knowledge of SummerlandÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s history, Dave Hill has determined the location of the banners and heritage signs in Summerland.
The banners show SummerlandÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™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.
