Here's an Alberta trivia question to begin the new month with.
How did our provincial flag come about? Any guesses?
In November of 1966, the Social Credit Women's Auxiliaries of the Alberta Social Credit League petitioned Premier Earnest Manning in to give Alberta our own unique flag. Premier Manning agreed and, thanks to the initiative taken by these ladies, the flag was officially adopted June 1, 1968.
Car flags are very popular these days. Wouldn't it be great to see it proudly displayed on every vehicle this summer?
Every so often we're asked if we'll keep the flag once we are our own independent nation. The answer is, Albertans will decide that, not politicians.
So, what do you think, Alberta? Should we keep it?
