NATO 75th Anniversary National Flag Contest (April 4, 2024)
The NATO Association invites organizations and individuals across Canada to submit a captivating and original photo featuring a Canadian flag raised on a flagpole for a chance to win an official NATO flag. Our collective goal is to see these NATO flags proudly displaced nationwide in every province and territories in celebration of this milestone. Join us in celebrating our history and showcasing this important partnership of defense and security! A number of NATO flags will also be gifted to our ambassadors, directors, and others who have helped to make the NAOC a success.
