Here's a possible clarification ... As our present Canadian flag was adopted on 1965 February 15, the flag hoisted on the top of Deighton House in 1872 would have included the Royal Union, and likely would have been the one listed for 1868-1921 here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Canada Your kilometrage thus may vary.

I've always referred to them as the TriCities. Port Moody has been PoMo though. But yes they are 3 separate cities. The other slag I haven't heard of except of course 'Slurrey' and 'Surrey Girl' Sucks they used those in the book though since as Rebecca mentioned they are derogatory.
