Last month, after being informed of the town’s decision to take down the Heritage flag, the Vietnamese Canadian Federation wrote to Mayor Cummings and Sundre councillors to provide them with background information on this flag, and worked together with the Vietnamese community in Calgary to launch a worldwide campaign to urge the town council to reverse its decision. The Vietnamese Canadian Federation is grateful for the support shown by thousands of people in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Europe, and other countries in this campaign. On behalf of its supporters, the Federation would like to express its deep appreciation to the Sundre’s Town Council for its heartfelt and commendable decision. Thanks to this decision, the Heritage and Freedom flag cherished by millions of Vietnamese all over the world will continue to fly in Canada as a beacon for democracy and freedom, which, we all hope, will eventually come back to Vietnam. The Vietnamese Canadian Federation is the non-profit umbrella organization of the Vietnamese community in Canada. Established in 1980, it currently has 12 chapters in all major cities from coast to coast. Its national office is located in Ottawa.   more »
