Flags on the legislative grounds
Flags will be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on September 27 for Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day.
The national flag of Canada and flag of Ontario are flown on the main flagpoles on the front lawn of the Legislative Building. Typically the flags are flown at full-staff, meaning they are fully raised. Flags are flown at half-staff to show respect and to express sorrow in memory of the deceased. The lowering of flags at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario indicates a statement of loss shared by all Ontarians.
