Re: Independence Day of the Republic of Croatia – May 30th
Request for Raising the Flag of the Republic of Croatia

Dear Mayor Sim,

On behalf of the Canadian-Croatian Congress, I am writing to kindly request that the City of Vancouver fly the official Flag of the Republic of Croatia in recognition of Croatia’s Independence Day, celebrated on May 30th. We respectfully ask that the flag be raised for one week, from Friday, May 26th, 2024, to Saturday, June 3rd, 2024.

The Croatian community in Vancouver takes great pride in its heritage and contributions to the cultural diversity of our city. Raising the Croatian flag during this period would be a meaningful gesture of recognition and solidarity with the Croatian-Canadian community as we celebrate this important national day.

Thank you for considering this request. We deeply appreciate your support and look forward to your positive response. Please feel free to contact me at crocc@telus.net if you require any additional details.

Yours sincerely,
Ivan Curman
President
Canadian-Croatian Congress
