At  noon on February 15, 1965, Canada’s red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill. A year later on the same day the National Flag Day Of Canada was declared.

Celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, the national flag is a symbol that unites all Canadians and reflects the common values we hold so dear — equality, diversity and inclusion.

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 .

We are a month away from Christmas and are all in full seasonal decorating and shopping mode.

Graphic designer Daniel Quasar has added a five-coloured chevron to the Rainbow Flag to place a greater emphasis on “inclusion and progression”.

Quasar’s Progress Pride Flag adds five arrow-shaped lines to the six-coloured Rainbow Flag, which is widely recognized as the symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities.

The flag includes black and brown stripes to represent LGBT communities of colour, along with the colours pink, light blue and white, which are used on the Transgender Pride Flag.
