CARP Flags were raised across the country this past Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 as over 45 CARP Chapters simultaneously took part in their own flag raising ceremony across Canada in honour of National Seniors Day!
Each chapter was very successful in their community outreach efforts as local City Mayors and City Councillors attended and played an active role in these ceremonies. In addition, local news stations covered majority of these events!
Please see here for media clips from CTV featuring Susan Eng (click here), ZoomerNews coverage coast to coast (see here), Montreal’s Flag Raising event featuring Irwin Cotler (click here), Brockville’s Flag Raising ceremony featuring the Mayor and a 90 year old CARP member (see here) and of course, the Winnipeg Metro showcasing one of our Chapter Chairs wearing a carp costume (see photo below) with the headline, “CARPs gotta lotta heart.”
