This table provides information on the flags flown on Parliament Hill's Peace Tower and East and West Blocks, which can be requested by Canadian residents. It outlines: the Parliament Building where the flag was flown, the size of the flag, the height requirements at which the flag is to be flown, and the waiting period to receive a flag.

Flag	Size	Pole requirements	Waiting period
Peace Tower flag	2.3 m x 4.6 m (7.5 ft x 15 ft)	13.7 m to 15.2 m (45 ft to 50 ft)	38 years

Our policy is to give only one flag per household. As these flags are paid for by Canadian taxpayers, they are given to residents and are not sent outside of Canada. Should you move before having received your flag, it is your responsibility to notify our office of your change of address so that we may update your file.
