Nylon is our premium fabric that offers maximum durability and colour penetration of approx. 95%. For reference, nylon is the Canadian Government standard material for flags. These nylon flags can be seen flown outside most hospitals, RCMP detachments, schools, Government buildings, etc.

Detailed Franco-Yukonnais Flag Product Description
The Franco-Yukonnais flag was adopted in October of 1985 and created by Cécile Girard.
Not large in population, but represented by a flag none the less. This flag has a complex design, with a blue field and three diagonal stripes set from lower hoist to upper fly. The colours of the stripes are white and golden yellow. The effect created by the arrangement of the stripes is reminiscent of obstacles to surmount and mountains to climb. Blue is for the French people and the sky. The white is for the winter north of 60. Lastly the gold symbolizes the gold rush and the Franco-Yukonnais contribution to history of the territory.
