How the City honours veterans
All flags at City facilities will be flown at half-mast on November 8 in honour of Indigenous Veterans Day and on November 11 in honour of Remembrance Day.
Seventy-five per cent of new streets are named after war casualties: citizens who made a significant contribution to the city, and City employees who died while in the service of our city. Honourary street name signs for Guelph’s war casualties are identified by blue letters on a white background and a poppy symbol.
