The purpose of the project is to promote the demonstration of Patriotism for Canada by the subscribers and at the same time raise funds for charitable use and use in the community by The Rotary Club.
The project follows the precedent of similar successful flag projects by Rotary Clubs in the United States.
Under the project, Edmonton Strathcona Rotarians will visit homeowners and occupants of residences, and will obtain "Subscriptions" to the annual flag project.
The Rotary Club will provide "plantings" of a Canada Flag on the front lawn of subscribers three times per year in exchange for the subscription. The plantings will take place on the three summer holidays weekends (Victoria Day) (Canada Day) and (Labor Day) After the holiday is over the Rotary Club will pick up the flag and store it for future use.
The subscription price is $60.00 per year and the subscriber is only required to show the general location of where the flag should be planted. Planting takes place by placing a metal stand in the ground on a spike, and is removed after the weekend is over with no damage to the lawn. Continuing subscriptions will be sought. Preparation of the flags, poles and spikes will be done by Club members by way of work parties.
