Canadian and community pride is coming at the cost of $60.
With a minimum donation of $60 to the Rotary Satellite Club of Langley Central Sunset, a local resident can not only demonstrate their Canadian pride, but their support for Rotary projects in the community, said Lilianne Fuller, PR director for the club.
In exchange for the donation, the club will place a full-sized Canadian flag on the donor's property, not once, but three different times through the summer. Ahead of Canada Day, B.C. Day, and Labour Day.
"As an added bonus, every household who sign up for a subscription will receive a free Canada pin," said Fuller, noting the pins come compliments of Tako Van Popta, MP for Langley Township-Fraser Heights.
"This is our club’s main fundraiser to help support local charities and non-profit organizations in Langley," Fuller explained.
"We are all proud to be Canadian, and I can't think of a better way to show that, than have a flag posted in our yard for each of this summer's long weekends. What better way to show your Canadian pride and help out our local community."
This will be the seventh year for this Rotary fundraiser.
As in the past, all money raised from the project will benefit a Langley charity.
This year’s beneficiary is Inclusion Langley. Inclusion Langley is a non-profit service provider in the Langley area, providing holistic support services to adults, youth and children with developmental disabilities.
Inclusion Langley Society was founded in 1959 and has since grown to support individuals in a number of different modalities, including children’s programs, residential and home placements, and community inclusion, among other services.
“This year as with previous years, we're looking forward to the support of our local Langley community,” said Kadonah Davis one of the co-coordinators of the flag subscription project.
“Thanks to those who have subscribed already and there are still a few flags that need a home during those three long weekends," Davis said.

“Our satellite club is hands on here in Langley. Fundraisers like the flag project provide us with the funds we need to help those who may need a hand. We thank everyone who supports us, and they can feel confident knowing they are making a difference in our community,” Fuller concluded.
