Request for Permission to Use the Scarborough Flag Motif as
Background to New Scarborough Veterans = Association Flag
The Scarborough Community Council recommends that Council approve:
(1) the design proposed by the Scarborough Veterans= Association for its new flag; and
(2) that the flag of the former City of Scarborough be the flag of the Community of Scarborough.
The Scarborough Community Council reports, for the information of Council, having requested that the City Clerk report back to Scarborough Community Council on the protocol and process for adopting a flag for the Scarborough community, and include in such report, reference to other symbols of the former City that may require adaptation.
The Scarborough Community Council submits the following communication (January 16, 1998) addressed to the City Clerk, from Mr. John M.K. Bow, CD, President, Scarborough Veterans= Association:
In response to the answer we received to our letter to ex-Mayor Frank Faubert, I am submitting our flag design utilizing the Scarborough Bluffs and Lake Ontario background for your Community Council=s approval. The only change we are making to the City of Scarborough=s flag is the substitution of our crest - twelve inches in diameter - for the red maple leaf.
As was mentioned in our original request, we are a Scarborough organization that would like to keep as much of the Scarborough flag visible before the public.
The reason for us requesting to have a flag of our own at this time is that one of our widows would like to purchase it for us in memory of her husband.
Awaiting your favourable reply.
