Default WTB: High Quality Canadian Flag

Just curious if anyone knows where you can get a high quality canadian flag similar to the quality of those used in US military funerals (i'm guessing they are cotton). THe Nylon/Rayon flags look a little cheap.

Thanks,

Have you tried Flagworks? Corner of MacLeod southbound and 12 ave.

No unfortunately I live in Edmo, I tried looking online, I"ll be back in calgary for a bit in the next month or so, I'll definitely check it out though. I totally forgot about that place.

Perhaps i will place a call or check out their website.

thanks!

Give your local MP a call.
They have a supply of flags to give out to their constituents for free.
I myself just picked up a bunch to take overseas with my rugby team next week.
They're made of some sort of synthetic material, but they are good quality flags, sutibale for actually flying on a flagpole.

You can get on the waiting list for a flag from on top of Parliament, but it may take you a few years of waiting. It's free though.

I just signed up for that myself. The current wait time is 9-years for the East and West Block flags, and a whopping 18 years for a Peace Tower flag! I have a go-big-or-go-home policy, so I went for the Peace Tower.

The email address that requests should be sent to is Minister@pwgsc.gc.ca

So what's the story there? They change the flags every day and then forward the used one to a citizen?

I like that.

yep, something like that. Im not sure how often they get changed, but up that high Im sure those flags get a pretty good beating.

I too like the whole thing. It's a small detail, but kind of a cool gesture.
