Updates - Karen
1. Wreath ordered from legion —Julie to place wreath at Remembrance Day Service on Sunday,
November 7.
2. Banners on flower posts re Legion - The Bowmanville Legion had some issues this year with
Elexicon regarding hanging new banners in town. Elexicon is working on a policy regarding the banners
and installing brackets to the poles. The legion is seeking an alternative in case this will not be allowed
going forward. They had asked about the posts in town that hang the flower pots. At this time, it is
premature — but keep it in mind for next year.
3. Benches — Received $3670.00 this year from Capstone which covered 3 of the 5 benches for the
east side of the street. Two benches were accessible benches.
4. Donation of 2 benches to the Town Hall and 1 to the horticulture placed up at the new installation
