A school division in Nova Scotia is restricting the types of flags that will be permitted to fly outside its schools.

The South Shore Regional Centre for Education (SSRCE), which represents 23 English-language schools providing education from pre-primary to Grade 12, said flags that are non-governmental will be taken off flagpoles and displayed inside schools.
