"Windsor city council has adopted a new policy on flag-raisings, proclamations and building illuminations after deferring a vote on a previous draft due to protests from members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Under the new policy, Windsor will continue to grant flag-raising requests, but only to organizations that are directly related to the city through a funding or partnership agreement, and/or only for events that correspond with days of awareness, celebration, importance, commemoration or promotion that are recognized by the province or federal governments."

"Council had originally considered a policy at its May meeting that said it would not grant flag-raisings or issue proclamations.

But several people protested the move, particularly members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, who emphasized the importance of raising the Pride flag during Pride month."

Protests work people. Glad to see things were settled in a way that was amicable to most everyone involved.
