Community organizer Garth Zwicker was back before council on Tuesday night to deliver an update on his veterans banners project, and to ask for one more extension to accommodate a few more banners in the municipality.
There are now 229 veterans banners in total throughout Tantramar: 173 in Sackville, 50 in Dorchester, and six in Fort Folly. With requests for at least 15 more between Sackville and Dorchester, Zwicker asked council on Tuesday to consider approving ten more in each community.
Zwicker also reported on plans for a future publication which will feature images and stories from the banner project.
“I’m in the process right now of gathering all the permissions, said Zwicker. “The excitement from the families… the respect and the love is just overwhelming sometimes.”
Zwicker is also considering an online map to help families locate the banners featuring their loved ones each fall.
