This flag is divided into three vertical panels. The green panel represents
the Taiga forests, the white is for snow and the blue is for the sea.
On the center panel is the provincial flower, the fireweed, and the
Cross of St. George on the top with wavy blue and white lines for creeks
and rivers. The red spires represent the Yukon mountains and the gold
discs stand for the mineral wealth. The malamute dog on top symbolizes
loyalty, stamina and strength. The flag was designed by Lynn Lambert
who won a contest during Canada’s Centennial Year. |
