Costello & Co has installed a stunning granite ‘Lest We Forget’ bench at the cenotaph in front of the Great War Memorial Hospital.
The bench, purchased by the Veteran Banner Program, will provide a seat for the Silver Cross Mother during the Remembrance Day Service.
The Veteran Banner Program, which invites families to sponsor a banner featuring a photo of a veteran from their family, has seen increasing participation each year.
It offers a poignant way to honor and respect those who have served our country, whether they are still with us or have passed away.
Similar banner programs are run in neighboring municipalities, including Carleton Place and Smiths Falls, reflecting a broader community effort to recognize and remember the sacrifices made by veterans.
The new bench at the cenotaph in Perth stands as a testament to the enduring gratitude of the community towards its heroes.
