Over 100 Years of the Victory Square Cenotaph
The Victory Square Banner Program
Vancouver’s Remembrance Day Ceremony at Victory Square is the oldest continuing annual ceremony in the city and attracts thousands of people, rain or shine. The Cenotaph stands as a symbol of our collective memory and gratitude towards those who have served our nation.
In 2024, to mark the 100th anniversary, a group of volunteers within the community created the annual Victory Square Banner Program to feature photos of our loved ones who have served our country. During the Poppy Campaign and Remembrance Day, you can find these banners displayed throughout Victory Square, Chinatown, and other corridors within the City of Vancouver. Thanks to our generous donors, 450 banners will be on display around the City of Vancouver for the months of October and November.

2025 Banner Program
Last year’s vibrant banners stood as powerful symbols of our collective gratitude toward Veterans. This year, we aim to once again adorn Victory Square and Downtown Vancouver with these same banners during the Poppy Campaign and Remembrance Day. To bring this vision to fruition, we seek to raise funds to cover the costs of installation and pole rentals.
A contribution of any amount will bring us closer to our goal and ensure the streets of Vancouver are filled with these poignant symbols of remembrance. To make a donation, please click the button below to visit our secure donation page.
