Big Music Fest is auctioning off this Canadian flag featuring 45 autographs in memory of Gord Downie starting today

The organizers of the Big Music Fest in Kitchener, Mark and Miriam Higgins, had an idea. They got a Canadian flag and musicians sign it for…something. Bryan Adams, Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Arkells, Burton Cummings, Sam Roberts and more than 40 others eventually put pen to flag.

The result is a one-of-a-kind collector’s item that will be auctioned away on eBay starting now. Whatever money is raised will be presented to Sunnybrook Hospital in memory of Gord Downie on July 3–specifically The Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research.

Here’s a better look at the flag which measures 31″ x 72″.
