Osoyoos Council Votes Down Giant Canadian Flag at Former Husky Station

The Osoyoos Council has rejected plans to fly a giant Canadian flag at the former Husky truck stop, citing cost considerations.

According to Times Chronicle, the Osoyoos Council voted against flying a giant Canadian flag at the former Husky station. The decision was made based on cost considerations for the flag project.

Residents had expressed support for the flag project through letters and social media posts, but the council ultimately decided not to proceed with the plan.

The estimated cost of relocating the flagpole is between $150,000 and $200,000. The Osoyoos Council transferred $10,000 from a RMI grant to fund further tests on the flagpole.
