Municipality of Cumberland recognizes National Flag of Canada Day
- Details
Sunday, February 15, 2026, is National Flag of Canada Day.
National Flag of Canada Day is observed annually to commemorate the inauguration of Canada’s flag, and its iconic red and white bands and maple leaf, as the official flag of Canada on Feb. 15,1965.
The day is marked by flying the flag as well as public ceremonies and educational programs in schools.
Municipality of Cumberland Mayor Rod Gilroy and District 6 Coun. Scott Lockhart came together at the Upper Nappan Service Centre on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, to sign a proclamation declaring Feb. 15 as National Flag of Canada Day.
“National Flag of Canada Day is a moment to pause and reflect on who we are as a country and what we stand for. The maple leaf is more than a symbol on a flagpole—it represents Canada’s shared values of democracy, respect, inclusion and peaceful cooperation,” Mayor Gilroy said. “Since its adoption in 1965, the flag has come to symbolize an independent nation with its own voice, history, and identity on the world stage.”
Nominate a volunteer for the Municipality of Cumberland’s volunteer recognition program
- Details
The deadline for nominating your favourite volunteer is fast approaching.
Who shows up when no one is watching? Who makes your community better just by being there?
Everyone knows someone like that. Help us give them the recognition they deserve.
We will celebrate volunteers and volunteerism from April 19 to 25. We want to recognize the outstanding volunteers who make Cumberland County the wonderful place to live that it is.
The Municipality of Cumberland is inviting nominations for volunteers who go above and beyond. All nominees will be celebrated at a special event this April, where we will honour their contributions.
“Volunteer Week gives us an important opportunity to recognize and celebrate the people who make our communities stronger through their generosity and commitment. Volunteers give their time, skills, and compassion to support neighbours, organizations, and causes that matter, often without any expectation of recognition,” Mayor Rod Gilroy said. “From coaching and mentoring to helping neighbours and supporting local organizations, volunteers make a real difference every day.
“I encourage residents to take a few moments to nominate a volunteer who has made a difference in your life or in your community. Whether their contribution is big or small, every act of service helps build a more connected, caring Municipality of Cumberland. Let’s come together to thank those who give so much of themselves to help others.”
