At the direction of the Province, Canadian flags on all B.C. government buildings will be flown at half-mast on December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women, from sunrise until sunset. Where a Canadian flag and a British Columbia flag fly near to one other, both flags should be lowered to half-mast. The direction of the Province on half-masting protocols is provided in case school districts wish to follow a similar approach.
