Adopt a Dowel Project

In September of 2009, a total of 271 flags were deployed in the parade. A campaign to "adopt a flag pole" was inplemented and people purchased a dowel. The name of those who purchased a flag pole were able to choose the flag to be deployed. Their name will appear in a book written about the history of the Foundation of the Parade of Nations. Their names is also published under Flag pole on our website. Thanks to Heather Robertson for this idea.
Please contact info@paradeofnations.com for more details.

With a donation of $5.00, your name goes on the flag pole with the country’s name and name of the person who paid for the dowel. You will be remembered for ever. To participate send a cheque payable to Parade of Nations at 1621 Joyce, Cornwall, On K6J 1Y8.
