Happy New Year!
We made it through 2017, and what a year it was for all Canadians! We came together and celebrated the greatest milestone – our 150th anniversary – in our nation’s history! We all share the privilege of living in the best country in the world. Canada is known for freedom, democracy, compassion, opportunity, innovation, and peace. Since Confederation, Canada has grown and achieved so much, and so the year-long celebrations gave us plenty of opportunity to consider and appreciate what it means to be Canadian.
Everyone from The Flag Shops across Canada was thrilled to support Canada 150 celebrations and events which took place from coast to coast to coast, throughout the entire year. It didn’t stop at Canada 150, either – we worked with co-ops, municipalities, the entertainment industry, community outreach organizations, and on relief projects, to name just a few.
We took so much joy in being able to fulfill our purpose to connect, make a positive difference, and bring meaning to the events and projects of our clients. We love serving our community, and as we look ahead to 2018, we know it will be all about “more is better!” More connecting, more laughter, more new ideas, more wine, more change, more fun, more sleep, more courage, more friendships, and more dreams realized!
Our President, Susan Braverman said, “While I have never been someone who declares personal resolutions at this time of year, I can tell you that I have lofty visions for 2018.” She added, “As we say good-bye to the old and usher in the new, I am excited and full of anticipation about what 2018 will bring for my clients, my family, and my entire Flag Shop team!”
This year, we hope to strengthen our connections with our readers. In particular, our blog will feature products and services to support nation-wide events. Whatever the occasion, whatever the plan, we will be ready to contribute to the purpose of your projects to bring deeper meaning and impact.
Cheers to 2018 – a year to do and be more!
