Councilmember Cyr proposes Canadian flag at City Hall; council decides not to proceed
Summary
Councilmember Craig Cyr proposed displaying the Canadian flag at City Hall on June 29 to show solidarity and welcome Canadian visitors; after staff and council discussed display procedures, the council chose not to move forward at this time.
Councilmember Craig Cyr proposed that the City of Langley display the Canadian flag at City Hall "to show solidarity with Canada and to let Canadian visitors that they are welcome in the City of Langley." The proposal was raised as new business following the executive session during the June 29 special meeting.
Councilmembers and staff discussed the procedural steps and proper actions required to display a foreign national flag at a municipal facility. The record notes council considered what would be necessary to display the flag properly, including logistics and protocol, but the council did not adopt a motion or move forward with implementation at the meeting.
The record lists the proposal’s author as Councilmember Craig Cyr and indicates the council chose not to proceed at this time. No formal motion, second, or recorded vote appears in the minutes; the action is therefore recorded as discussed but not acted on. The minutes do not list any scheduled follow-up or assignment of staff to return with an ordinance or policy change.
The proposal and decision were entered into the June 29 meeting minutes; the document later shows administrative approval of the minutes on July 6, 2026, signed by Deputy Clerk Kristen Abraham.
