How to Fold a Canadian Flag

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Harvey Kronberg with Austin Flag and Flagpole. I'm joined by my wife Michele, who also co-owns Austin Flag. We do occasionally get asked questions about how to properly fold a Canadian flag. Well, there really is no ceremonial fold for the Canadian flag. It's mostly just a basic rectangular fold, but we'll go ahead and demonstrate. Essentially, you lay the flag flat and then simply fold it in half and then fold it in half again, and then essentially grab it there. Fold it in half one more time, and one more time. And that's pretty much all that's involved with folding a Canadian flag. Now, with all like, with all flags, you want to make sure that it's dry when it's stored. It's best to put it in a plastic bag and keep it out of direct sunlight so that you can preserve the colors as long as possible."
