11:00 AM – Do you think the rainbow flag should be flown at City Hall or any other community group flag?
Sasa Kahrimanovic, President of Tri-Pride.
No rainbow flags will fly at City Hall as councillors reject a proposal for a community flagpole. Council had asked staff to review the city’s flag policy after it came under fire three months ago, when the city denied a request to fly the rainbow flag during the Sochi Olympics as a show of support for gay athletes.

Ontario requires the greatest amount of minimum-wage work to pay tuition, going from 260 hours in 1975 to 708 hours four decades later.
