Markham Veterans Banner Program
Each year, the Markham District Veterans Association continues an initiative to have veterans’ banners displayed on Markham Main Street. This program has been active since 2019.
This is a revenue neutral initiative where the cost of the banners would be absorbed by the sponsor and the installation/removal picked up by the City of Markham.
All service personnel, whether they served in the First World War, Second World War, Korea, peacekeeping missions, Afghanistan, or are still in active service, are applicable to be honoured with these banners. There is no restriction to veterans from the Markham area or Second World War service alone.
Sponsors can be individuals, families and/or businesses that want to honour a veteran.
The banners are installed in early October and removed in mid-November.
They are displayed prominently on Lamp Posts lining Main Street Markham.
Request a Banner and Honour a Veteran.
DEADLINE FOR NEW BANNER REQUESTS IS JULY 30, 2026
We have over 54 spots (Lamp Posts) on Markham Main Street, HWY #7 East, South of HWY #7 (Vinegar Hill Dip to the bridge) and in front of the Markham Village Cenotaph available to honour our veterans.
The banners will be 76 inches high by 27 inches wide.
They are vinyl, UV Ink with 3 wind vents, Double Stitched and Reinforced Webbing.
