Brockville celebrated Canada Day by raising a massive maple leaf over Hwy. 401.
The flag raising was part of a dedication ceremony recognizing the town as the birthplace of the Canadian flag.
It took place at 3 p.m. at the corner of Parkdale Avenue and North Augusta Road.
A 120-foot pole was donated by SmartCentres.
