Sometimes you can feel a little small working with such Giant Flags, especially when it takes 4 people just to hold it up for a picture. However it is fun and rewarding to see your work on such a grand scale. Today Ontario & Alberta and tomorrow?? Well wait and see…
Perfect Seams On A Giant Ontario 15’x30′ Flag
This photo illustrates the time and attention to detail taken to join the seams up perfectly on this Giant 15′ x 30′ Ontario Flag. This Golden Leaf alone stands 5′ tall! Beautiful work team! I can’t wait to see it flying high!
It’s not a celebration without cake!

Our flag now hangs proudly in their classroom in Apeldoorn, Holland.
War veteran, Ben lectures at the Primary school “De Diamant” about WWII and the role of the Canadians, by the Liberation of the Netherlands and Europe, the price that was paid for the freedom we enjoy today! In this photo Ben poses with the children who are holding up a Canadian Flag made by The Original Flag Store, a very proud feeling.
