Oshawa Power has donated $10,000 to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43 Poppy Fund as its Veteran Banner Program marks its 10th year, the utility announced on Nov. 11.
The program is a collaboration between Oshawa Power, the City of Oshawa and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43. Each fall since 2017, banners honouring the service and sacrifices of local veterans have gone up across downtown Oshawa.
This year, 138 banners stand atop downtown light posts, each carrying the portrait, name and service details of a local veteran. Oshawa Power crews erected more than 130 banners ahead of Remembrance Day, and the display runs from late October through November in support of Oshawa's Remembrance Day Parade.
"For 10 years, these banners have reminded everyone who walks downtown that our freedom came at a cost. We wanted to mark this milestone in a way that gives back directly to veterans and their families. Thank you to Branch 43 and to every family who has shared their loved one's story with our community," said Daniel Arbour, President and CEO of Oshawa Power.
The donation to the Branch 43 Poppy Fund supports local veterans and their families.
