The Municipality of Clare is pleased to continue the Veteran Memorial Banner Program — a heartfelt way to recognize and honour veterans from our community after launching this program in 2025.
Each personalized banner pays tribute to a veteran’s service and will be displayed near the Clare Veterans Centre during the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day.
