The vast majority of institutions under the jurisdiction of the Quebec government are required to display the Quebec flag. When displayed with other flags or emblems, it must occupy the place of honour and take precedence, in accordance with the general standards for the use of the national flag.
Here are some other rules to follow:
NOTE that its standards also apply to businesses and individuals
The practice of lowering the lights to half-mast is used during periods of mourning; this request may follow a municipal, provincial or federal request. The position of a flag flying at half-mast depends on its size, the height of the flagpole, and its location; but, as a general rule, the center of the flag should be exactly in the middle of the flagpole. When raising or lowering the flag, it must first be hoisted to the top of the flagpole.

The mourning tie is used when the flag cannot be flown at half-mast on a flagpole. It is used on interior poles as well as 45D wall brackets. It is a black crepe fabric measuring 2,5 m long and 33 cm wide and attached in a loop at the base of the finial (decorative piece) so that the span of the loop is 30 cm. The ends of the fabric, cut at an angle of 45 degrees, will fall to the middle of the flag sleeve.

Over the years, Francophone communities in Canada have adopted emblems and flags, symbols of their pride and dynamism.

The term “Francophonie” was first used at the end of the 19th century to refer to countries under France’s influence. Today, it refers to the community of peoples around the world who speak or use French to varying degrees in their own countries or internationally.
La Francophonie also describes an international network of more than 60 states and governments that share the use of the French language. Recognizing the importance of the French language and culture at home and abroad, the Government of Canada has associated itself with La Francophonie from its beginning in 1970. Through this multilateral forum of cooperation and dialogue, Canada extends its considerable influence to promote the values that matter most to Canadians, namely:
Canada is a member in La Francophonie, while the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick are recognized as participating governments. The flags of Canada, Quebec and New Brunswick officially represent the Canadian Francophonie. The circular form of the flag of La Francophonie conveys the idea of coming together. The five interconnected segments represent the idea of cooperation across the five continents where the members of La Francophonie are located. The five colours represent the various colours found on the flags of the participating countries and governments.
