Free Canadian Flag

Did you know you can request a free flag from your Member of Parliament? My brother got one from his MP and I have written to my MP to see if I can get one too. Find your MP here.

My brother just texted me to say that he drove past 4 members of Team Sweden jogging along the road in Penticton. Anyone know what sport is training there?

Starting to see lots of Olympic vehicles & volunteers in Vancouver. So exciting!!!!

Olympic Countdown: 13 days!!!!

  1. My MP sent me a flag no problem, but my sister emailed hers and they told her they only had a limited supply and wouldn't send her one! I'd love to know what kind of response you get...

  3. I received an email that said they're going to send me a flag! He did say that they get a limited number each year for NGO's (not sure what that is) in the riding but had a few left over from last year's allotment and would send me one. That sucks that your sister didn't get one.

  4. NGO stands for Non-Governmental Organization, usually charitable organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, etc.

  9. In the link above you can find your MP, then just email their office and ask (the riding office not the one in Ottawa).
