The Municipality of the District of Yarmouth has launched a Veteran Banner Program to honour local veterans of the Municipality. We are accepting applications for year three of the program (2024).
Families and friends of veterans will be able to sponsor a 48”H x 24” W vinyl banner honouring their beloved veteran(s). The full colour banner will display a picture of the veteran, their name and service details along with the sponsor’s name.
The banners will be displayed on power poles in the following hamlets in November of each year: Port Maitland, Arcadia, South Ohio, and Carleton.
The banners will be removed, stored and put up by the Municipality for a period of three years after which the sponsor is free to keep their banner or apply to become a sponsor for another three-year period.
Currently, there are 20 poles per hamlet available to display veteran banners.
The program is on a first-come-first-served basis.
For those interested in applying, PLEASE NOTE the following important information:
* This program is open to residents and veterans who are or were residents of the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth. (families from away can sponsor a banner for a local veteran)
* Applications (which should include the information required in the Veterans Banner checklist, see below) may be sent via email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

To view and print the application form, please go to the following link: MODY Veteran Banner Program
1) Photo – Photos of the veteran(s) taken with a smartphone work best (even if you are using photos from newspaper clippings). Scanned photos do not work well. Up to two veterans’ photos can be included on one banner.
2) Name of Veteran(s) - This will be the name displayed on the banner. The Municipality will not spell check submissions – be sure spelling is correct on the submission. More than one veteran can be added. Please keep to 30 characters or less.
3) Service - Where the Veteran(s) served (WW1, WW2, Korean War, etc) to be displayed on the banner. Please keep to 30 characters or less.
4) Sponsor’s Name- This will be added to the banner. Please keep your name or the group name as simple as possible. Please keep to 30 characters or less.
5) Comments – This is where any photo editing requests are made to request areas not to be cropped out (show medals etc.).
6) Contact name and phone number – This information is required in case there are any questions or we need any clarification.
7) Specify which hamlet you wish your banner to be in. Provide a first choice and a second choice if your preferred location is full. If you provide one location it will be assumed you do not want your banner in another location.
8) Payment via cash, cheque, or debit card in the amount of $172.50 may be made payable to the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth in person at the Municipal Building, 932 Highway 1 in Hebron.
