  • COR 055-2015, Draft Council Policy No. 100-3-02 Flag Protocol
    Sa ,~A COUNCIL REPORT ABBOTSFORD Report No. COR 055-2015 Executive Committee July 3, 2015 File No: 0340-20 To: Mayor and Council From: Bill Flitton, Director, Legislative Services and George Murray, City Manager Subject: Draft Council Policy No. 100-3-02 (Flag Protocol) RECOMMENDATION THAT Council Policy No. 100-3-02 (Flag Protocol), referenced as Attachment "A" to Report No. COR 055-2015, be approved . SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE Council at its meeting of June 15, 2015 directed staff to prepare a Council Policy regarding the flying of Flags by the City. Referenced as Attachment "A" is a draft policy for Council's consideration. BACKGROUND The City of Abbotsford has a City Manager approved Procedure that addresses the various protocols involving "Flags" dating back to 1999. During the ensuing years, the Procedure was replaced by an informal protocol which provided a general guideline on the matter. One portion of the protocol was the concept that "City sponsored" Flags would be flown. The City has flown numerous different flags upon request, without adherence to the Procedure or protocol. Upon approval of a new Flag Protocol Policy, the City Manager will rescind the previous Procedure. DISCUSSION In 1996, City Council adopted a Policy (200-1-04) which eliminated the issuing of proclamations by City Council. The issuing of proclamations by City Council had become an administrative burden and it was seen to add minimal value to the operation of the City. The flying of Flags of organizations and groups is somewhat analogous to the issue of proclamations, and as such staff has prepared a policy that only specific flags may be flown on City Flag poles under the control of the City.

  • The Flag Institute Research Note No. 2 Colonial Flag Badges
    The Flag Institute Research Note No. 2 Colonial Flag Badges: A Chronology Author: Nick Weekes Effective Date: 10 June 2008 The analysis, opinions and conclusions expressed or implied in this research note are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the Flag Institute. Neither the author nor the Flag Institute asserts copyright but appropriate acknowledgement should be made if extracts from the note are reproduced within a published work. COLONIAL FLAG BADGES: A CHRONOLOGY INTRODUCTORY NOTES A. This research note seeks to record the evolution of the system whereby distinctive flag badges have been used to deface: (i) The fly of the Blue Ensign to serve as: (a) Proper national colours for colonial government vessels. (b) Unofficial colonial land flags. (ii) The fly of the Red Ensign to serve as proper national colours for merchant vessels registered in certain overseas territories. (iii) The centre of the Union Flag (normally within an encircling garland) to serve as distinguishing flags for colonial Governors and other officers administering overseas governments. B. The note records the milestones in the evolution of the system in chronological order. Details of colonial- type flag badges in current use are annexed. C. The origins of the system can be traced to two separate initiatives in the 1860s: (i) An Admiralty initiative in 1865/66 to determine proper national colours for colonial government vessels (prompted by the Colonial Naval Defence Act 1865 and the arrangements introduced for government vessels in the United Kingdom in 1864/65); this initiative resulted in agreement between the Admiralty and the Colonial Office on the arrangements for the defacement of the Blue Ensign.

    Policies and Procedures Manual Policy: #7-07 Approved by: Senior Leadership Team Approval Date: October 28, 2020 Revision Dates: Effective Date: October 28, 2020 Date to be Reviewed: October 2025 Administrator Responsible VP, Strategic Initiatives Flag Usage Policy POLICY The Flag Usage Policy ensures that flags flown at all North Island College (NIC) properties are displayed in a consistent and respectful manner as required by the provincial and federal governments. PURPOSE This policy designates the authority over flags and the manner in which they will be displayed at NIC properties. SCOPE AND APPLICATION The manner in which flags are displayed in Canada is governed by established practice from the provincial and federal governments. This policy applies to all flags raised and lowered on NIC properties. This policy and the related procedures are in accordance with the Rules for Flying the National Flag of Canada as outlined by the Government of Canada and the Province of BC’s website on Flag Protocol. PRINCIPLES 1. NIC follows national and provincial protocols with respect to flying flags. NIC recognizes the flying of flags as an important way to communicate with internal and external audiences. 2. Flying flags at the half-mast position is a sign of respect and mourning for an individual or group or to mark a special day. 3. The (BC government’s) Office of Protocol administers the policy for flying flags at half-mast. All government buildings in B.C., including the Legislative building and all other public sector buildings, must follow the half-masting rules. These rules serve as a guideline for any other building or residence in the province that flies a provincial flag.

I would have read of that Covenant in books before 1995, but the view that it was binding upon Christians presently in some sense never occurred to me in the slightest before hearing of the “Covenanter” position. I spent a lot of time and effort investigating the Covenanter claims. The more I studied, the more compelling those claims appeared to be. As years went by, and I continued to look at it from various angles, I had fewer and fewer doubts that the Solemn League and Covenant was still binding. From the theological, historical and philosophical perspectives, the Covenanter position is solid.
