Canadian Flag Collection Our unique exhibit showcases truly Canadian businesses, organizations and historic flags. We hold the nation’s second largest museum collection of Canadian flags! Why flags? Flags are all around us, we see them everyday. Canadians use flags to advertise, promote our organizations and rally behind for sporting events and national holidays. Our museum’s collection reflects this vital part of Canadian culture and daily life. We are proud to be the Argyle Homecoming Parade 2000 custodians of such important Canadian symbols as they continue to grow historically valuable with care and the passage of time. Our Collection: With over 815 flags, and growing everyday, our Canadian Regions & Cities collection is comprised of five galleries: Historical & Canadiana Sports & Organizations Canadian Business Commemorative & special Flags Flags in the media As our collection grows, so does it’s fame!
