Canadian flag raised for Colorado-Canada Friendship Day
The Canadian flag was raised over the Colorado State Capitol on Saturday to celebrate Colorado-Canada Friendship Day. This event highlights the strong ties between the two regions, with Colorado exporting $1.8 billion in goods to Canada in 2023. In addition to trade, Colorado welcomed over 176,000 visitors from Canada last year. The state is home to 272 Canadian-owned businesses, which employ many local workers. The Capitol building was also illuminated in red and white lights to mark the occasion. Governor Jared Polis emphasized the importance of the friendship between Colorado and Canada.
