We really do have the best customers.  We loved getting these photos of our flags in Nanaimo, BC.

We have had so many regular and new customers come into our locations and order online.  So many conversations about what is currently going on in our country.  One thing we have heard over and over again is Canada needs to show the pride we have in our country.  PIckup a small pole kit with flag to mount on your house or one of our balcony flags .  Show your pride Canada!

February 15th is Flag Day.  Let’s celebrate 60 years of the Maple Leaf.

This photo is of our Thornton Store in 1966 where Gordon Burke Upholstery began sewing the Maple Leaf to people looking for a high quality all sewn flag.  This changed his business from upholstery to the family flag making business we are today.

Did you know that we proudly make our Canada Nylon Sewn Flag at our factory at 176 Saunders Rd in Barrie , Ontario Canada.  Proud to be Canadian!

Check out our new arrival Valentine’s Day Garden Banner.

Our Canada Nylon Sewn Flags are hand crafted with the finest workmanship.  Applique is a method used of layering fabric on fabric.  The detail in these flags exceed any printing style. As we hand sew these flags here at our factory in Barrie, On we are able to offer repair services on these flags. From a small repair of restitching the end panel to a full replacement of the end panel .  By providing this service we can help your Canada Nylon Sewn Flag live its maximum life.

With freezing rain in today’s forecast here is a reminder of how to care for your flag in the Winter months.

To keep your Canadian flag looking  bright and beautiful take it down from time to time. If you are expecting an ice storm or a winter blizzard and your flag will not be seen, take it down to avoid any damage to the flag.  By taking your flag down in cold or poor weather it will help the flag to last longer.

From time to time inspect your flag and check it for fraying or loose ends, small holes or rips and tears. We are available to perform flag repairs for a low cost.

Always inspect your flag to be sure it is not catching on any items such as trees or roof lines as that will further accelerate the deterioration of the flag.

Flags can be hand washed in cold water if necessary and hung on the pole damp to quickly dry.  Wrinkled nylon flags can be ironed at the lowest/delicate setting .

Order online, by email or give us a call.  We can quickly turnaround a holiday flag for your business or home.

As the days are getting shorter and the nights are cooler we know Winter will be here before we know it.

Before the snow and freezing temperatures arrive is a great time to have a look over your flagpole and check the rope for fraying or damage.  We recommend changing the rope once a year to avoid the service costs of a broken rope.  Give us a call and we can cut your rope to size for $.40 a foot.
