Flag free-Ontarian

The flag free-Ontarian was deployed officially for the first time the September 25th 1975 at the University of Sudbury. It was officially adopted by the Association Canadian-Frenchwoman of Ontario (ACFO) (today the Association of the communities free-Ontarians) in 1977.

The green and the white symbolize the summer and the winter of the Ontario. The flower of trillium to the right-hand side (trillium grandiflorum) is the official flower emblem of the province of the Ontario. The Fleur of lily to the left is the recall of the membership of the world Francophonie.

June 29th, 2001, the flag free-Ontarian receives the statute of official symbol of the province by the legislative assembly of Ontario.

In September 2005, to commemorate the 30e birthday of the flag, the publisher Speech (in partnership with the ACFO of Large Sudbury) published a book reporting the history of the flag. The book is entitled the flag free-Ontarian and is written by students of the Université Laurentienne under the direction of Guy Gaudreau, historian at the Laurentienne University. In December 2006, one of the first acts of the new mayor of Sudbury, John Rodriguez, was to make hoist the flag free-Ontarian with the town hall.

Six giant flags of 3 meters by 6 meters float permanently with 90 feet in the sky of the town of Ottawa (monuments of the francophonie) since 2007.
