Summerland鈥檚 Remembrance banners have been installed around the community.
The site for each banner has been carefully determined. Because of his extensive knowledge of Summerland鈥檚 history, Dave Hill has determined the location of the banners and heritage signs in Summerland.
The banners show Summerland鈥檚 fallen soldiers.
Almost every banners site has a story.
The Michael Daniel banner is near the former location of the Daniel store in Lowertown.
