Price Signs owner Kirk Reid tells BayToday he is a huge Raptors fan, and he's turned their slogan into a unique flag that also celebrates North Bay.

So he was wearing a big smile when we dropped in this morning to ask about what prompted him to make the flag.

"I'm a big Raptor fan and also proud to live in North Bay, We are the north in North Bay,"  he said with a grin. "I thought one day I would send a picture to the Raptors and just say, 'We're cheering for you too and we are the North."

Reid has displayed the flag "on and off" for a couple of years but is particularly happy to put it up in honour of the Toronto Raptors' championship run.

"I thought we were going to win, and we did. We were the better team."

By the way, Reid says that's a raccoon claw on the flag.
