Oh! I totally noticed someone reading a note on the post, I didn't know it was for that reason.

That's definitely good to know. Sometimes, I wonder why flags are half-mast some days, and none of my friends really know. Now I know where to look. Thanks! : D

It's in memory of M. Wilson... (Either Margaret, likely, or Margo, not so likely)... Don't quite remember, read it this morning.

I was just going to say, its in memory of someone who taught at Mac.
I myself was curious about it this morning (I notice stuff like this...must've been the cadet in me), and went to check it out - the Ontario flag pole has a little info sheet on it.
