On the agenda

As the city filed it

Toronto recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of the adoption of our City's flag on November 7th, 2024. Designed by then George Brown College graphic design student Rene DeSantis, Toronto's flag has been flown since 1974 after a highly competitive public design competition. City Council re-affirmed this flag once again in 1999, when it was adopted overwhelmingly by the Council of the newly amalgamated City of Toronto.

As a City, we should be proud of this enduring symbol by ensuring that our flag holds a place of honour in our public facilities - whether flown on a flagpole, or otherwise displayed on premises. The reason for urgency for this motion is to coincide with a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the City of Toronto's flag at City Hall on Thursday, November 14th.
