TORONTO, June 29, 2015 /CNW/ - Today Canadian Tire
launched an adventurous Canada Day
video that takes the red and white flag to new heights. Watch as of
one proud Canadian climbs the ocean side rock wall Flatrock in Quidi Vidi (NFLD), scales the
perilous Chief in Squamish (BC)
and a construction crane in Toronto (ON) – just to proudly fly our flag
for Canada Day.

people across Canada to proudly
share where they fly their flag on Canada
