Relocation
06 September, 2020
Last week, The Flag Locker HQ relocated from Ontario, Canada to Nova Scotia. As a result, most work on the site has had to be put on hold. Things are finally settling back into place and we will be up and running on a more recular schedule shortly.
We appreciate your understanding.
