The colours were removed from the protestant Chapel at CFB Clinton and laid up in the Wesley-Willis United Church now Clinton United Church in the town of Clinton. The base was due to close on 31 August. After the ceremony, Major Frank Golding, Clinton’s final commanding officer, said: “To those present today and to all who will worship in this church in the future, may these symbols serve as a valuable reminder of the friendship that has existed between the townsfolk of Clinton and the military for the past 30 years."
Wesley-Willis United Church was formed in 1925 with the joining of the congregations of Wesley Methodist and Willis Presbyterian. As of June 2006, Wesley-Willis (after becoming a single point charge without Holmesville) and Ontario Street United Churches became one with a new identity as Clinton United Church.
