As the city filed it

The City of Toronto flag has been a key part of the City's identity for 45 years. However, it is seldom used in communications, marketing materials, and civic initiatives and public events. This Motion requests staff to develop a plan that addresses this shortcoming and create a strategy that gives our flag the prominence it deserves.
