WINNIPEG — Thousands of Winnipeggers dressed in red and white creating the largest living flag at Shaw Park for Canada Day.

3,850 created the Living Flag which officials say is larger than last year’s.  This is the fifth year for the annual Canada Day living flag.

The morning event brought together people young and old, including new Canadians to celebrate not only Canada’s birthday, but also the 50th anniversary of our maple leaf flag.

The event is part of the larger push towards Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017.
