RENT A FLAG FROM ROTARY! OR ... MAKE A GIFT OF A FLAG

The Great Canadian Rent-a-Flag program for 2021 is now ready for sign-up. Click the Flag graphic above to go to the signup page. If you want to make a gift of a flag to family, neighbours, or friends, you can sign up with your name and contact information, but use your gift recipient's address instead of yours.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Rotary Canada Flag program for 2020. The funds raised have been donated to the Shuswap Food Action Society for their Shuswap School Box program (providing fresh local food to needy families).

In 2021 the club will install a large flag on a 10 foot pole on your front lawn over four long weekends in 2021. For a donation of $60, we'll put the flag in the week before and remove it the week after the following Canada holidays:

May 24, Victoria Day

July 1, Canada Day

September 6, Labour Day

November 11, Remembrance Day

The registration fee of $60 covers ALL FOUR instances.
