What a beautiful Formenta Fiberglass Flagpole with an Inclusive Pride Flag that we installed at Innisfil Park.  We take care of everything start to finish.

“In the spirit of diversity, equity and inclusion, the Town of Innisfil is introducing a permanent landscape feature at Innisfil Beach Park to acknowledge the Town’s commitment as a welcoming community”

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada.

The ever-changing Pride symbol has been revised again, and in 2021 designed by Daniel Quasar was updated to be even more inclusive. The Inclusive Pride Flag.

In Vecchietti’s version, a purple circle overlaid over a yellow triangle has been added to the chevron on the left side of Quasar’s design, a nod to Australian Morgan Carpenter’s famous 2013 intersex flag.

We have some new garden banners that we are all loving here at The Flag Store.  What a great gift idea for the animal lover in your life .

What is St Patrick’s Day?  St. Patrick’s Day is the feast day Of St Patrick. Originally celebrated with religious feasts and services, St. Patrick’s Day became a celebration of Irish culture when it reached the United States alongside Irish immigrants.

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 completes the rigging allowing 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 comparable 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.
