After completing research on the best practices of other Canadian municipalities, the community flag pole program on the City Hall Plaza was discontinued earlier this year.
Community groups are invited to seek other ways to recognize their cause, and celebrate and build community spirit in Edmonton, including the Light the Bridge program, a special proclamation, letter, certificate, or a unique message from the Mayor.
Did you know there are protocols to follow when raising or lowering flags, when addressing the mayor and council members and even an order of precedence for speakers at events?
