Banners on Confederation Boulevard
Each year, Canadian Heritage flies over 500 banners along Confederation Boulevard, the Capital’s ceremonial route in downtown Ottawa and Gatineau. The banners highlight Canada’s provinces and territories as well as anniversaries of significance.
Provincial and territorial banners in Canada’s Capital Region
The colourful provincial and territorial banners provide a window on Canada. These banners incorporate details and imagery representative of the provinces and territories, along with recognition of Canada’s Capital Region. The design of these banners changes yearly, and features themes such as floral and animal emblems or provincial and territorial landscapes. The 2024 display features provincial and territorial flowers, in designs inspired by the stained-glass windows in the House of Commons.
