Canadian flag collection

The Canadian Flag Collection is the special exhibit of Settlers, Rails & Trails Inc, the museum located in Argyle, Manitoba, Canada. It is the 2nd largest museum flag collection in Canada, second only to the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.

As of March 2014, the collection cares for over 925 flags in its permanent holdings.

Reputation

Over the past 20 years, the museum has gained the reputation for being "Canada's Flag Depository". Companies, Universities, Towns/Cities, organizations and even private collectors and individuals submit their flags to the museum for preservation, research, exhibition and public relations purposes.

The museum uses its flags to represent an important component of Canadian popular culture. Off-site exhibits include National Flag of Canada Day, Manitoba Day, Remembrance Day Services and Canada Day activities.

In February 2015 SR&T will be displaying its extensive flag collection at the Manitoba Legislative Building Rotunda for the 50th Anniversary of the National Flag of Canada.

The museum's flag brochure is a statement of what donors and contributors can expect from the exhibit. It also lists past donors to the CFC since its first inception in 1997.
