Pursuant to Section 12(a) of the British Columbia policy on half-masting, flags will be flown at half-mast at the legislature in Victoria and on all British Columbia government buildings in the City of Vancouver from sunrise to sunset on Sunday, April 26, 2026, to mark the one-year anniversary of the tragic deaths that occurred as a result of the attack at the Lapu Lapu Festival in Vancouver on April 26, 2025. Where a Canadian flag and a British Columbia flag fly near to one other, both flags should be lowered to half-mast. Whereas April 26 is on a weekend, if there are no maintenance staff working that day it is acceptable to lower flags to half-mast at the end of the day on Friday and return them to full mast on Monday morning. The B.C. policy on half-masting protocols is provided in case school districts wish to follow a similar approach.
