Product Description

All of our flags come in 2 different fabric options: standard knitted polyester and premium nylon.

Knitted polyester is our standard fabric and is the most common material for flags worldwide. It offers a great print with approximately 70% bleed-through onto the reverse side. It is a fantastic choice for an economical flag that is both durable yet cost effective.

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.

Information on the Northwest Territories' Flag

The Northwest Territories' first official flag was chosen by a special committee of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories in 1969. The committee reviewed entries from a Canada wide contest. The winner of the contest was Robert Bessant from Margaret, Manitoba.

The flag features a blue field, on which is a Canadian pale (a white stripe taking up half the width of the flag), with at the centre, the shield from the coat of arms of the Northwest Territories. The blue represents the abundant Northwest Territories waters, whereas the white represents snow and ice.

Two blue panels represent the Northwest Territories' many rivers and lakes. The white section, representing ice and snow, is equal in area to the 2 blue panels combined. The territorial Shield is centred in the white section. The white section of the Shield, with a wavy blue line dividing it, represents the Arctic Ocean and the Northwest Passage. A diagonal line, representing the tree line, divides the lower portion into a green and red section with green symbolizing the trees and red symbolizing the tundra. The gold bars in the green section and the white fox in the red section represent the abundant minerals and furs upon which the history and prosperity of the Northwest Territories has been based.
