Saturday, February 15, 2025 | Downtown Windsor
Downtown Windsor is the place to be this Flag Day as we proudly celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Canadian flag! The City of Windsor, in partnership with the Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA) and the Windsor Parade Corporation, invites you to join CANADA UNITED – a day filled with community, patriotism, and celebration.
Honouring Our National Symbol
As former Canadian prime ministers have urged, now more than ever is the time to fly the maple leaf with pride. Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge has called on Canadians to celebrate Flag Day as a reminder of our shared values, resilience, and sovereignty. Let’s answer the call and stand together as a community that embodies the True North Strong and Free.
