National Flag Day Feb 15 – 2017

On February 15, 1965 our national flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill. Every year since 1996, when Parliament declared February 15th as National Flag of Canada Day, we celebrate our beautiful flag.

In 2017, the National Flag of Canada is celebrating its 52nd anniversary. Canadians are invited to celebrate this important symbol of our identity by organizing their own events and by showing their pride on social media.

Take part in the “Share your Moment with the Flag Challenge” by posting a picture or video of you with the flag and inspire others to do the same! #canadianflag

You can use the opportunity of this exceptional year, the 150th anniversary of Confederation, to express your pride in our magnificent flag!

We’re looking forward to seeing all of the flags around Parry Sound tomorrow. Post your pic and tag us in them. “Oh Canada…”
