| One of 16 new banners |
New banners portraying Bridgewater's past and present will soon grace the town. Council agreed to give the Bridgewater Development Association $1,400 to help the group install, take down and re-install 16 banners in the community. Barb Thompson with the BDA's Riverfront Renaissance Action Team says the banners will serve many purposes.
"So, our goal here was to provide a banner that was exciting, that was fun, that was interesting, that the community would be proud of, excited about, be pleased to show off to their visitors and at the same time, for us, would help educate the community a little bit about their heritage."
Some of the banners display images of Acadia gas engines, a lumberjack and the town's fire department band. Mayor Carroll Publicover says the banners will be a splash of colour and excitement for the downtown core. The 16 banners are expected to be installed in the spring and removed in the fall.
