The Canadian Flag

What are Your Thoughts About the Canadian Flag? Invitation to a National Conversation

Send us your thoughts in words, pictures or videos. What do you feel the flag stands for and what does it mean to you?  Keep the words to under 150 and the videos to under 60 seconds and we'll post them.  The only requirements are that you be respectful and you post in English or French so they can have the widest reach.

Please send them to: Flag Project Coordinator, Pearson Centre: info@thepearsoncentre.ca
