Grouse Mountain in Metro Vancouver unfurled what it describes as the largest Canadian flag ever made on Wednesday morning.
The installation serves as a high-profile display of national pride as Canada prepares to host and compete in the 2026 [1] FIFA World Cup.
Located on the North Shore of British Columbia, the ski resort coordinated the unveiling to rally support for the national soccer team. The massive flag was draped across the mountain landscape, creating a visible landmark for residents and visitors in the region.
Organizers said the project was designed to build momentum and visibility ahead of the tournament. The installation process involved securing the oversized fabric against the rugged terrain of the mountain to ensure it remained visible from a distance.
While the resort describes the flag as the largest of its kind, the display is primarily intended as a gesture of sporting solidarity. The 2026 [1] tournament represents a significant event for Canadian sports, and the resort aimed to contribute to the celebratory atmosphere in Vancouver.
Local officials and resort staff oversaw the process to ensure the flag was properly positioned for maximum impact. The display remains a focal point for fans gathering in the city before the international competition begins.
