National Flag of Canada Act was created to encourage Canadians to proudly display the National Flag of Canada in accordance with flag protocol. It prohibits those in control of multi-residence buildings and communities from prohibiting flying of the Canadian flag.
Any condominium corporation or other multi-residence community prohibiting flying of the Canadian flag is prohibited.
A condominium corporation can enact rules governing display of the Canadian flag on condominium property. Allowable rules include:
- Limits on size of the flag and number of flags displayed;
- Designating where flags can be displayed on the property;
- Requiring faded and tattered flags be removed; and
- Requiring that flags comply with flag protocol etiquette and rules.
The Act does not convey a right to display flags of other countries, or sports banners and logos.
