On the agenda
As the city filed it
Morocco freed itself from the French colonial rule on March 2, 1956, while independence was granted from Spain a month later on April 7, 1956. Although Morocco gained its independence on March 2, the North African country commemorates the anniversary of independence on November 18 instead, at the request of late King Hassan II who ascended to the throne after the death of his father in 1961.
Staff recommended
Councillor Jim Karygiannis, seconded by Councillor Cynthia Lai, recommends that: 1. In recognition of this day, which also symbolizes Moroccans' commitment and contribution to independence, City Council allow the Moroccan flag to be raised at Mel Lastman Square on November 17, 2019.
