The community Banner Project is a series of banners which are displayed from the lampposts in the downtown area of Elliot Lake through the summer and fall seasons. The banners were designed by and for the citizens of Elliot Lake to showcase our local heritage and visual art talents.
"Our Town" Banner Project: 2021
As part of the beautification of downtown Elliot Lake, the Arts & Culture Committee, in partnership with the City, is delighted to continue the Community Banner Project, initiated in 2020, with the same theme of “Our Town”.
This year we were able to print 41 unique designs from local artists, young and mature, to be displayed in our downtown area, accompanying the 37 designs from the previous year.
Thank you to all of the participants for sharing what Elliot Lake means to them, inspiring visitors and citizens alike, and helping to enhance the appearance of our community.

"Our Town" Banner Project: 2020
“Our Town” Banner Project was an idea suggested by a group of volunteers to beautify downtown Elliot Lake and showcase some of the work by artists in our community.
Originally spearheaded by Fran Perkins from the Arts & Culture Committee, the group evolved to include Linda Finn, Jay Smith, Claire Nolan, Julie Merk and Barb Hukezalie.
They chose the theme of “Our Town”—broad enough to give lots of scope for creativity to the artists, but specific enough to include everything from history to leisure activities to what the future might be like in Elliot Lake.
Banners include designs from children as young as 3 years old to teens and adults alike.
Thanks to the City of Elliot Lake, this project was able to come to be, even though the community was self-isolating during Covid-19.
Grand opening: Friday, July 31, 2020.
