I saw this piece of Canadian First Nations Art on Facebook and thought to myself, “Hmmmm, I love it and I also know a woman who has a flag manufacturing business. I should get them together.” I didn’t hear a thing about it after that and, today, I was tagged in a post on FB announcing that the flag is being produced. I am so pleased. . . what a wonderful age we live in where it’s so simple to network people who do excellent work.
Here’s what the artist said:

Gila Kasla-Greetings,
It has been a long time coming…but I would like to announce that my rendition of the Canadian Flag is finally going to be produced into an actual flag that can be hung and flown. I have been working with The Flag Shop based in Vancouver and they will be producing the design on a flag that measures 27″ x 54″. The flag will be screen printed on 200 denier nylon. It will be finished with rope and toggle in the sleeve, which is the standard way flags are finished in Canada.
These flags will be available at the beginning of March through their website and also through their 13 stores across Canada (Vancouver and 12 others). They offer shipping all over the world. These flags will be sold for $79.95 and I am posting this to get an idea of who would be interested in ordering a flag. If you or someone you know is interested in purchasing a flag, would you please send me a private message? Email info@curtiswilson.ca
Gila Kasla-Thank you
If you know someone who orders flags for civic functions, please have them consider this one. Let’s get some publicity going for this project, too. This is the link for purchasing: http://shop.flagshop.com/index.php/canada-flags/canadian-native-flag.html
I love this flag!! I’ll put an order in for sure. Thank you for posting 🙂
Definitely will be ordering at least one. Beautiful artwork, a true tribute to our Canadian heritage.
Just wondering if any of the money from this flag is funding anything to do with First Nations, I mean, due to the unfortunate history of colonized Canada and the indigenous peoples… taken out of context this flag could even be offensive…
As far as I know, the artist and the manufacturer are working together and both will profit as is the usual case in selling art work. The artist is a First Nations man.
Thanks for clearing that up Gloria, just checkin! Not everyone is so altruistic so it doesn’t hurt to ask.. 😉
What a beautiful flag!
We would love to preserve one of these in our famous Canadian Flag Collection – Canada’s 2nd largest museum flag exhibit.
Thanks for your vision!
Our home ON native land…I have loved this flag since the first day I saw it. Take care when you buy one… There are many fake copies circulating as well as other objects that have stolen the image.
This link seems to be authentic.
