Barrhead, Alberta, removes historic Red Ensign flag from Cenotaph due to new flag bylaw.
In Barrhead, Alberta, the Red Ensign flag has been removed from the Cenotaph due to a new bylaw that restricts flags on town property to only national, provincial, and municipal ones. The Red Ensign, used as Canada's flag from 1868 to 1965, holds special significance for veterans like Herman Barkemeyer, a Korean War veteran. The Royal Canadian Legion members are disappointed by the removal, arguing the Red Ensign is historically important, having flown during both World Wars.
