New Year for Council, but still no debut date for new civic flag

A new year should bring a new look for the City's flag, though
so far the new standard has yet to fly from City Hall

The flagpoles on City Hall are seemingly still awaiting the arrival the new Civic flag to take its place, the spot of honour still vacant almost three months after the city officially voted to change from old to new.

The consensus design for the flag from City Council last fall 

The new civic flag was celebrated by the City as part of their year end review of 2023 civic accomplishments, the notes observing as to how the new ensign will reflect the community.

With Council set to meet for the first time for 2024 tonight, hopefully someone around the chamber will ask for an update as to when the first flag flying moment is anticipated for the new symbol for the community.

Sone background on the process towards the new flag can be reviewed below:

October 16 -- City's new flag gains notice from provincial municipal affairs reporter

October 13 -- City selects a new Flag to fly 

August 30 -- Lack of consensus on options presented, send potential Civic Flag models back to staff for revisions 

August 28 -- Civic staff flag Prince Rupert civic flag for replacement
