In light of the recent tariff war with the United States, how would you like to flag a Canadian flag on your lawn and show your patriotism?

You can do just that for over the summer during the Victoria Day May long weekend, on Canada Day and for the Labour Day long weekend.

The now 7th annual program now has 500 Canadian flags ready to fly.

In their first year, they had 108 locals sign up, and due to its popularity, it's swelled to now having 500 flags.

Over the first six years they've managed to raise $116,000 which goes right back into the community.

The Rotary Club of High River has given the money raised to local organizations such as local youth scholarships and camps, to the High River Handi-Bus, the Salvation Army Food Bank, and Sheppard's Family Park amongst others.

The cost for the program has also remained the same over the last seven years at just $50.  If they sell out the program this year, it will mean another $25,000 will go right back into the community.
