April is Yellow Ribbon & Banner Month

For the month of April we are going to place our yellow banners and our new additions of the yellow banners with poppies in the center.

These banners are in support of the Canadian Troops in Afghanistan. The yellow is a symbol of our appreciation of the work of our troops overseas. It reflects our thoughts and prayers are with them and hoping for a safe return home.

We encourage all businesses and residents of St. Thomas to tie a yellow ribbon around a tree, lamp post or a store sign. The banners will stay up from April to June.

Summer Banners

Summer Banners will feature an "Open Air Student's Art Gallery" by St. Thomas and Elgin County Students attending the various schools in our area.
