Polyester Ontario Flag
The current Flag of Ontario was proclaimed by the Flag Act on May 21, 1965. The flag is a defaced Red Ensign, with the Union Flag in the upper left corner and the Ontario shield of arms in the fly. Before 1965 the Canadian Red Ensign had flown outside the legislature and government buildings. It was replaced by the Canadian flag in 1965, when Premier John Robarts then proposed that Ontario have its own flag and that it be a Red Ensign like the previous Canadian flag, except with the Ontario coat of arms.
Polyester Prince Edward Island PEI Flag
The flag of Prince Edward Island is modeled after the provincial arms. The upper third of the flag features the English heraldic lion which appeared both on the coat of arms of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, for whom the province is named, and King Edward VII. The lower two-thirds show an island with three small oak saplings (on the left) representing the three counties of PEI (Prince, Queens, and Kings). The three sides away from the mast are bordered by alternating bands of red and white.
Polyester New Brunswick Flag
The flag of New Brunswick is modeled after the province's coat of arms and was adopted by proclamation on February 24, 1965. A gold lion on the red field across the top one-third of the flag represents New Brunswick's ties to both the Brunswick region in Germany and (the arms of) the Monarch of the United Kingdom. The lower two-thirds of the flag depicts a Spanish galley, the traditional representation of a ship in heraldry, which represents historically significant industry of shipbuilding.
Polyester Nunavut Flag
The Flag of Nunavut was proclaimed on 1 April 1999, along with the territory of Nunavut in Canada. It features a red inukshuk—an Inuit land marker—and a blue star, which represents both the Niqirtsuituq, the North Star, and the leadership of elders in the community. The colors represent the riches of the land, sea and sky.
Polyester Northwest Territories Flag
The original flag of the Hudson's Bay Company served as the territorial flag from the moment Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory was purchased by Canada in 1869. It was replaced in 1950 when the color was changed to blue and a coat of arms featuring a polar bear and wheat stocks was added. In 1959 the wheat was removed form the coat of arms as agricultural land had been ceded, and it was placed in a white circle. Finally in 1969 the coat of arms was enlargened and placed on a Canadian Pale (a white stripe taking up 1/2 the flag's width).
