Hello Fall
Who else is ready for cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice , beautiful fall colours , Halloween and of course football
September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is also known as Orange Shirt day. It is a day to honour the Indigenous children that were taken away through the Residential School System, and their families and communities. It is a day to raise awareness of the horrific experiences many Indigenous people had in Residential “Schools,” as well as the legacy of this system.

We are so excited to welcome Giddy to The Flag Store in September.
I’m Giddy: porch supervisor, seasonal icon, and the goose who makes sure every step feels like home. I don’t flap around aimlessly; I never miss a holiday, and I bring a little whimsy (and a lot of attitude) to your front porch or garden. Long before I showed up looking this good, porch geese were already icons. Lawn geese waddled onto the scene in the 1980s with concrete versions popping up all over. By the ’90s, humans fully committed to dressing us for every season, holiday, and questionable fashion choice imaginable. Crafted with durable metal and rustic charm, I’m ready for year-round duty and can be accessorized with themed outfits for every season. Want me to stand steady through wind or mischief? Fill me with sand for extra heft, I don’t wobble on my watch.
Thank you Trent University for the photo of the beautiful display of flags at your International Students’ graduation. We love seeing photos of our flags in use.
Ever wonder what the difference is between an Internal and External halyard on a flagpole?
An External Halyard Flagpole System places the rope on the outside of the flagpole. The rope is exposed on the outside of the flagpole and travels through the truck at the top of the flagpole. An external cleat allows the halyard to be tied off at about 4 1/2′ from the base of the flagpole. This enables ease of operation allowing the flag to be displayed and move up and/or down as required.
The Internal Halyard Flagpole System conceals the rope on the inside of the flagpole. Internal Halyard flagpoles are more expensive than external halyard flagpoles but they offer a more streamlined look and security. The rope is in the inside of the flagpole and travels up and out of the truck at the top of the flagpole. The rope is secured near the bottom of the flagpole with a cam cleat . The rigging is accessible and controlled after unlocking an access door.

Attaching new grommet clips is quite a simple job to complete. The clips are fastened to the rope and then attached to the brass grommets. This can easily be done with the rope still on the flagpole.
