Wooden boxes have been made to hold the New Brunswick flags which are presented to the families of deceased honoured New Brunswickers.
Traditionally, the flag at the legislative assembly is flown at half-staff to honour the death of prominent New Brunswickers and then presented to the family of the deceased. The special boxes are being made by staff and residents of the New Brunswick Youth Centre in Miramichi. The first two boxes were presented recently to the Office of Protocol at the Department of Intergovernmental Affairs.
The boxes are made from maple, and measure 30 cm by 30 cm.
