That’s an ASEAN flag flying on Laurier East
Have you noticed there is a second flag at the High Commission of Brunei Darussalam at 395 Laurier Avenue East? It’s the flag of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
The colours of the flagÑblue, red, white, and yellowÑrepresent the main colours of the national flags of all ten ASEAN member states. Blue represents peace and stability, red represents courage and dynamism, white represents purity, and yellow represents prosperity. The stalks of rice represent the dream of ASEAN’s Founding Fathers for an ASEAN comprising all the countries in Southeast Asia bound together in friendship and solidarity. The number of stalks symbolize ASEAN’s ten members. The circle represents the unity of ASEAN. (www.asean.org)
