East York flag to fly on street signs across former borough

City Council has voted 26 to 11 with seven not voting to approve the use of the 1967 East York flag on street signs in the former borough. The motion was brought by Janet Davis (Ward 31) and Mary Fragedakis (Ward 29). That decision was followed by a vote to extend the sign-privilege to all parts of the City that were described in the debate Wednesday as “legacy Cities”, or those that were amalgamated into the new City of Toronto in 1998, should they so desire.  The motion carried 28-9.  City Council will debate East York flags on street signs
