Town of Taber denies bid to fly Pride Flag on community flagpole
TABER, AB — The Town of Taber has denied a request for a Pride Flag to be flown in Taber this June.
During the town’s meeting on January 22, council passed a motion denying the Taber Equality Alliance’s request to fly the Pride Flag on the community flagpole in the park, and are also considering amendments to its flagpole policy to remove the flagpole in Confederation Park as the designated community flagpole.
The motion for that amendment passed and will be brought forward at a future meeting.
In a statement, the Town of Taber says all town-owned flagpoles will only fly the Canada, Alberta or Town of Taber flags, except in the instances of visiting dignitaries. No other requests to fly any other flags will be considered in the future.
