| A new year should bring a new look for the City's flag, though so far the new standard has yet to fly from City Hall |
The flagpoles on City Hall are seemingly still awaiting the arrival the new Civic flag to take its place, the spot of honour still vacant almost three months after the city officially voted to change from old to new.

| The consensus design for the flag from City Council last fall |
The new civic flag was celebrated by the City as part of their year end review of 2023 civic accomplishments, the notes observing as to how the new ensign will reflect the community.
Sone background on the process towards the new flag can be reviewed below:
October 13 -- City selects a new Flag to fly
August 30 -- Lack of consensus on options presented, send potential Civic Flag models back to staff for revisions
Notes towards what is on the agenda for tonight's council session can be reviewed here.
Maybe the council can discuss the city lights on McBride that are out and the pure darkness along McBride, Rupert Cleaners. They need to show some care for pedestrians walking around the city. Mayor Pond/council needs to address the safety issues around the downtown core, lighting, crosswalks and so people like myself don't get creamed when walking on a crosswalk tonight at 7:30PM.
ReplyDeleteMcBride is the responsibility of the provincial government because it is a highway
DeleteIf McBride is the responsibility of the province, why does the city have to contribute to the replacement of the waterlines under the highway? Maybe the province should shoulder the entire burden and the city can address other much needed repairs to the city…
DeleteWho’s in charge of safety at the city, assuming there would be a safety officer. Isn’t this number one priority on their list? And as it affected the citizens of Rupert, the safety concern can’t be pushed off onto the province. That’s ridiculous.
ReplyDelete3rd ave east is also completely dark. So what’s the excuse there? Not a highway.
