The colours stand for the natural features of the province - the taiga forest (green), the winter snow (white) and the northern waters (blue). In the centre are the full arms adopted on Nov. 5, 1956. The cross of St. George stands for the first explorers and fur traders from England, the roundel of vair (heraldic fur) symbolizes the fur trade, the white and blue wavy lines symbolize the Yukon River and the rivers and creeks where gold was discovered, and the red triangles represent the mountains. The golden balls symbolize the territory's mineral resources, and the malamute dog, noted for its toyalty, stamina and courage, emphasizes the important roll these animals played in the early history of the territory. Below the shield are two crossed branches of fireweed. This was adopted in 1956 as the floral emblem of Yukon. The flag is made of 100% polyester. They also have two brass grommets for easy attachment. 3' x 5' -- $11.49 2" x 3' -- $ 7.95 12" x 18" stick flag -- $ 3.99 4" x 6" stick flag -- $ 1.99 6" x 10" stick nylon flag -- $ 6.99 |
