Flag of New Brunswick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flag of New Brunswick, Canada is a banner modelled after the provincial arms and was adopted by proclamation on February 24, 1965.
The flag has the proportions 8:5; the 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 King of England.
Occupying the lower two-thirds of the flag, the Spanish galley was the traditional representation for a ship in heraldry. Its appearance on the flag at sea represented shipbuilding, one of the province's main industries at the time the coat of arms was adopted and throughout much of the province's history.
The flag ranked #18 in the North American Vexillological Association's survey of North American state and provincial flags. [1]
