ADVISORY: Half-masting of flags for National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism
Flags at all NBCC locations will be lowered to half-mast from sunrise to sunset on Friday, June 23, 2017, to mark the National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism.
The National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism is marked every year on the anniversary of the bombing of Air India Flight 182 off the coast of Ireland. On this day, flags across Canada are flown at half-mast to honour the victims of the bombing, as well as other acts of terrorist violence that have taken lives of Canadians.
