This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag. In recognition of that anniversary, Government House staff designed and built an interactive exhibit that pays tribute to the iconic national symbol.
Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz officially opened the new feature exhibit at Government House in Regina on February 13.
“I am pleased that Government House and the Lieutenant Governor’s Office are celebrating our national flag in this way,” Krawetz said. “This anniversary deserves to be recognized and historic Government House is the perfect setting for this innovative, educational display.”
The exhibit, known as “Celebrate the Flag!”, outlines the history of the Canadian flag and features an interactive touch table where guests can create their own digital flag. A craft area for visitors who would like to physically create a flag design and hang it on the wall is also part of the exhibit.
There is also a video booth that allows guests to share their own Canadian stories. Video stories may be featured in an upcoming exhibit celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017.
