The township of Norwich, Ontario, has voted that only flags for the municipality, province, or country will be permitted to fly on township property.
At a council meeting on April 25, which was at times disrupted by a loud, public crowd in the gallery, the five-member council voted 3–2 in favour of a motion to limit the flying of various special interest flags. Only government flags and banners related to the promotion and beautification of the downtown and local businesses will be allowed under the bylaw.
