• Heritage – Pierre Giroux
• Shopping – Tracy-Lynn Chisholm
• Fishing – Margaret Boucher
• Sports – Anne Wylemans
• Family – MiSun Kim-Hunter
• Recreation – Heather Smith

The colourful banners will be joined by a ninth banner that celebrates French culture in Cornwall, in honour of the 400th anniversary of Francophones in Ontario.

This is the fourth series of banner designs erected in Cornwall since 2007. There are approximately 75 banners in the current series and they are expected to have a lifespan of 2-3 years.
