They are calling it “The Greatest Canadian Flag”.
It's signed by such bands and musicians as The Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams, The Arkells and Burton Cummings.
The flag is being auctioned off to raise awareness and funds in honour of late Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie.
“All the funds go to the Gord Downie Brain Cancer Foundation at Sunnybrook. We cut them the cheque on July 3, so it's a beautiful thing, everybody is happy…as happy as you can be.” Musician and concert promoter Mark Higgins told The Jennifer Campbell Show on 570 NEWS.
Higgins says Downie was one of the bravest Canadians that we all ever witnessed.
Downie lost his battle with cancer last October.
The high bid for the flag is just over $6,000.
