Flag Day this year marked the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian flag An important anniversary that was perhaps celebrated way too little across the country.
As one small contribution to the occasion, the Pearson Centre co-hosted a reception with the Speaker of the House of Commons, Andrew Scheer, on February 16, for MPs, Senators and others. Attending were 40 MPs and representatives of various organizations. The speakers included Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover, NDP MP Craig Scott, Liberal representative Mauril Belanger, and Mieka Buckley-Pearson, the great grand-daughter of Lester B. Pearson.
