Proclamations and City Hall illumination requests

April 26, 2024, update – City Hall flags.

It has been discovered that two of the City Hall flagpoles that fly the Métis Nation flag, and the Treaty 7 First Nations flag need repair as they are not raising and lowering properly. This functionality is critical in allowing us to follow flag protocol for half-masting in accordance with the City’s Flag Policy. For the time being, the Métis Nation flag and the Treaty 7 First Nations flag at City Hall have been removed as we conduct repairs. Both flags will be raised as soon as the poles are repaired.


 

Proclamations and City Hall illuminations are ceremonial ways for the City to honour, celebrate, or create awareness of an event, person, or significant issue within the community; these are guided by our Community Requests Policy.

Council has made the following proclamations:

May 2024 as Guillain-Barré Syndrome/Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy Awareness month in Airdrie to educate the public and to focus attention on these rare neurological conditions;

May 6 to 10, 2024 as Economic Development Week in Airdrie to recognize the important role economic development and economic developers have in fostering sustainable economies and improving quality of life through supporting local businesses, attracting new investment, creating jobs, and improving quality of place;

May 19 to 25, 2024 as National Public Works Week in Airdrie to recognize and celebrate public works employees that focus on infrastructure, facilities and services vital to the quality of life and well-being of the residents of Airdrie;

May 20 to 26, 2024 as Alberta Disability Services Professional Appreciation Week in Airdrie to recognize the positive impact disability service professionals have on the lives of people with disabilities, their families and the overall community;
