Complaint lodged against Indigenized Canada Flag at Campbell River apartment
A Campbell River woman was sent a complaint that her indigenized Canada Flag was against strata rules and would have to come down
The complaint itself is disheartening, but isn’t necessarily about it being an indigenous flag; if the strata has a rule against hanging flags from balconies, it could just be that the strata didn’t know about the flag law, and someone didn’t like it in general (and would have complained no matter what flag it was).
Personally, I think it would be great to give this particular flag the same protections as a civic flag.

It already is protected.
“The National Flag Act states that no strata has the authority to tell citizens they can’t fly the Canadian flag, and the Flag Act acknowledges that there are other flags,” said Parke, though there’s no express permission to fly an Indigenized Canadian flag.
