THE CHAUDIÈRE BANNER IS ONE OF THE OLDEST ARTIFACTS THE BYTOWN FIRE BRIGADE HAS IN IT'S COLLECTION.
In 2023 a group of volunteers from the Bytown Fire Brigade was able to reproduce an amazing likeness of the original banner through digital imaging and technology. See the process of the reproduction as shown by C.B.C. News Ottawa.
See the YouTube video of the transition.
