Letters to the editor... Make sure Canadian flags are in good shape

Dear editor, As Canada Day is upon us again, I would like to remind everyone who flies a Canadian flag to check on its condition. Too often I see torn and faded flags on schools, government buildings, businesses and homes. A flag exposed to the elements does not look good for very long and needs to be replaced regularly. I don't care if people fly a flag or not, but if you are going to fly one please make sure it looks fresh and clean with deep vibrant colour. Anything less is disrespectful to a fine symbol.
