Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps assists in raising the heart flag, designed to thank health-care workers, at city hall on Wednesday. A paper version of the flag is part of the Thursday print edition of the Times Colonist. When we first printed the flag last Saturday, readers asked us to do it again. Adrian Raeside has a unique take on the flag. Send us your photos of the heart flag after you put it in a window, and we’ll share some of our favourites in the paper and online. Email to [email protected]. Put the word “heart” in the subject line and let us know what municipality you live in.

• In the Times Colonist print edition on Sunday, you'll find a poster honouring front-line workers.
