Commonwealth Day is celebrated every year on the second Monday in March. This year it falls on Monday 8 March 2010. The aim of commemorating Commonwealth Day is to promote understanding on global issues, international co-operation and the work of the Commonwealth to improve the lives of its citizens.
The theme for Commonwealth Day 2010 is ‘Science, Technology and Society’, to raise awareness in the Commonwealth around issues of science and technology which underpin communication, commerce, arts and culture, health, wealth and human rights in the world today.
In accordance with Australian flag protocol, the Australian National Flag should be flown all day on Monday 8 March 2010.
Thank you for your assistance.
