Your Community, Your Voice: Discover flag raisings and proclamations with Your Community

Whitby, Ontario – Community groups contribute to the diversity and vibrancy of Durham Region. One way the Region demonstrates its support is through flag raising and proclamation ceremonies—recognizing significant observances, cultural celebrations, communities, causes or organizations. These efforts strengthen bonds, encourage respectful dialogue and promote inclusivity.

What: The Region of Durham is launching a new Your Durham page that will highlight flag raising and proclamation ceremonies, as well as Regional half-mastings.

When: As of today (November 12), all related content will be shared on the Region’s new Your Durham page.

Where: Community groups and residents are encouraged to subscribe to durham.ca/YourCommunity to receive updates, and view photos and videos from flag raisings, half-mastings and proclamations.

Why: To celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of Durham Region and build stronger relationships with community groups.

Note: With the launch of the new Your Durham page, we're creating a space that is welcoming, informative and accessible.
