F is for Flags

MY G POST IS LOCATED UNDER MY F POST (DON'T ASK)

The official flag of Newfoundland and Labrador






Official Newfoundland Flag




Two official flags have represented Newfoundland and Labrador since Confederation with Canada in 1949. First the Union Jack, followed by the current provincial flag in 1980.

The flag incorporates three colours set against a white background. Blue represents the sea, red human effort, gold self-confidence, and white the snow and ice. Four blue triangles echo the Union Jack and represent the province's Commonwealth heritage, while the larger red and gold sections represent its future. Two red triangles signify the island and mainland portions of the province, while a gold arrow points towards a bright future.


Newfoundland also has 2 unofficial flags


The Labrador Flag


The Pink, White, and Green
and the Tricolour Republic Flag.  Although the PWG flag was never an official flag, it can be seen all over the island is considered to represent independence.
