Winter Flag Care
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 .

Remember Flag for Nov 11th
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
the torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
