AboutGeoff Wickens Expertise I have a fairly vast knowledge of the history of The City of Vancouver, BC. All my knowledge has been learned through on-hands experience. I am apt to answer most any question in regards to the history of the city, the construction of its bridges and the history behind some of its buildings.
Experience I drove cab for 5 years and in that time gave numerous city tours with full historical backgrounds. I have a thirst for history and an appetite for knowledge.
Expert: Geoff Wickens Date: 10/9/2006 Subject: Burrard St. Bridge
Question Do you know what flags are presently flying on the Burrard St.
Bridge? How often are these flags changed? Who chooses which
flags are to be flown?
Thank you so much for your help
Answer Ah yes .... the Burrard Flags. A lot of people ask about those. I haven't been down along False Creek for a few months now and I do not know what they are flying right now. If you go to http://www.katkam.ca/ and scroll down to the picture at the bottom of the page, you should be able to see the bridge and flags as they are at this very minute (page refreshes every 5 minutes or so).
The flags are usually changed every 6 months and it is the people at city hall that usually decide what to put up. Usually it has something to do with a citywide event.
If I can be of any other assistance, please feel free to ask. I love this town and its colourful history.
Thanks for the question and do not forget to rate this answer.
