The two flags in the photographs to the left are the City of New York and the New York Fire Department flags.
These flags were brought back to Turner Valley from Cut Bank, Montana following their 33rd Annual Lewis and Clark Days Festival where they were presented by Councillor and Former Mayor of Cut Bank, Bill McCauley, to a Canadian contingency representing the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78, the Towns of Black Diamond, Nanton and Turner Valley.
The flags are honouring the Legions Tribute to 9/11 which is hosted every year by the Turner Valley Legion.
Black Diamond, Cut Bank, Nanton and Turner Valley are Sister Cities.
Turner Valley Mayor, Kelly Tuck, Firefighters, Grant Sinclair and Jeff Bates from the Turner Valley Fire Department, Don Russell, Legion President, Michel Jackson and Past President, Gordon Day were present to receive the flags into the Legion.
The flags will be presented to the Sister Cities on a rotational basis and returned to Cut Bank next year.
