Labrador Flag - Black and White - Hi Vis

Newfoundland and Labrador

The flag of Newfoundland and Labrador, adopted in 1980, is a modern and abstract design rich with meaning. Created by artist Christopher Pratt, it features a white field divided by blue, red, and gold geometric shapes. The blue triangles represent the sea and the province’s dependence on the North Atlantic, while the white symbolizes snow and ice. The red is for human effort and struggle, and the gold arrow shape points forward, signifying hope and the province’s bright future. The arrangement of shapes can also be interpreted as a stylized Union Jack, acknowledging the province’s British heritage, and an outline of a trident, representing Newfoundland’s maritime strength. It’s a flag that bridges art and identity—modern in design, yet deeply rooted in the North Atlantic spirit.
