Did you know that a long time ago flags were used to share all kinds of news? Flags were used to tell what ships were entering St. John's harbor and who had the biggest catch of fish. Flags were flown on-board ships, merchant buildings and shops, schools and churches. Join us to design your own special family flag. Check out the viewing window in the Level 3 Atrium - how many flags do you see flying outside? Drop in anytime between 2:00 and 4:00 to join in!
