Ed Holder was delighted to join residents of the Riverside Retirement Residence for a very special event.  Canada Day was celebrated with the official unveiling of a Canadian flag which was flown on the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill.  The flag measures 7 feet 3 inches by 14 feet 7 inches and is changed daily.  As a sign of respect the flag must not touch the ground.
