A brief description of flags being flown will be available on this page for public reference.

• The flag currently being flown recognizes Woman Abuse Prevention Month, observed each November. This flag is part of the annual Wrapped in Courage campaign, organized by the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses. Throughout the month, gender-based violence (GBV) agencies encourage community members to wear a purple scarf to show their support for survivors and raise awareness about violence against women.
