CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS TUESDAY, MAY 23.

The heritage advisory committee has two projects that are close to completion, with one initiative designed to honour the community’s veterans and another to celebrate Moose Jaw’s heritage buildings.

During its recent meeting, the committee reviewed 19 applications it received from residents for its veterans’ banner initiative.

The banners will feature faces of soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought — and in many cases died — during previous wars, along with when they served. The pennants will hang from streetlights on Main Street throughout November and be visual reminders to promote remembrance and educate students and citizens.

The committee’s meeting minutes show that several members plan to research war dates and contact applicants to confirm the correct service dates, while another member will confirm shipping charges for the banners with the Ontario manufacturer.

The committee submitted its minutes for the May 8 regular council meeting. Coun. Crystal Froese, council’s rep on the committee, indicated that an announcement about the banners would occur soon.
