More flags at city hall

It looks like the City of Richmond will fly a Pride flag and a Truth and Reconciliation flag annually

This was the unanimous opinion of Richmond city council at its committee meeting Monday

Last year, members of the public took city council to task for not flying these flags and subsequently the policy was reviewed.

Furthermore, after a suggestion from Mayor Mal- colm Brodie, city council voted to have a second flag pole installed on No. 3 Road

The Ukrainian flag is currently flying at city hall in solidarity with that country which is at war with Russia. Brodie said he doesn’t anticipate that flag will come down any time soon.

The policy will come back later for a final vote.
