[GRAPHIC OMITTED - FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS LOGO] PROXY STATEMENT
[FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS - COVER AND CONSERVE]
Flexible Solutions (the "Company") will hold its annual meeting of shareholders
at 6:00pm on FRIDAY, THE 28TH OF MAY 2004 in the Meeting Room of the Nellie
McClung Public Library, 3850 Cedar Hill Road, Victoria British Columbia Canada
to consider the items of the attached notice of shareholder meeting. All items
on the attached notice are more fully described in this proxy statement.
The only securities eligible to vote at the annual meetings are the Company's
common shares. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the 6th
of April 2004 will be eligible to vote at the annual meeting. On that date,
11,819,916 common shares entitled to give voting instructions were outstanding.
Each common share and each exchangeable share not held by the Company or its
affiliates entitles the holder to one vote at the annual meeting. Any
stockholder may use a proxy if he/she is unable to attend the meeting in person
or wishes to have his/her shares voted by proxy even if he/she does attend the
meeting. Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it
is exercised by giving written notice to the secretary of the Company; or
submitting a proxy bearing a late date; or appearing at the meeting and electing
to vote in person. Any stockholder may solicit proxies in person, by mail, by
telephone, or by telegram. The person soliciting a proxy shall pay all costs of
solicitation.
Under Nevada law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if a quorum is
present at the meeting: (i) the five nominees for election as directors will be
elected directors if the number of votes cast in favour the matter exceeds the
number of votes cast against it.
In the election of directors, any proposal by the Board of Directors, or other
business, if a shareholder or broker abstains from voting or fails to vote it
will have no effect on the approval of the proposal because abstentions and
broker non-votes do not represent votes cast by shareholders.
The Company's annual report to shareholders for 2003 is being mailed on
approximately April 30, 2004 with this proxy statement to shareholders entitled
to vote at the 2004 annual meeting.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with

Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated
financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, and the Audit Committee has reviewed

independent auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with Cinnamon Jang
Willoughby the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committee s). These matters included
a discussion of Cinnamon Jang Willoughby judgments about the quality (not just
the acceptability) of the Company's accounting principles as applied to
financial reporting.

disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.
(Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee

for the fiscal year ended Dec 31, 2003, for filing with the U.S. Securities and
