| The Provincial Flag of Newfoundland and Labrador The provincial flag was officially adopted by the provincial legislature on May 28, 1980. It was designed by Newfoundland artist Christopher Pratt. The flag was first flown on Discovery Day, June 24, 1980. What the colours represent: • Blue symbolizes the sea. • White represents snow and ice. • Red is for human effort. • Gold signifies our confidence in ourselves. What the areas represent: • The blue triangles stand for our Commonwealth heritage in its similarity to Britain's Union Jack. • The red triangles represent the island and mainland portions of the province. • The gold arrow points toward our optimism for a bright future. When hung as a banner, the arrow closely resembles a sword - a reminder of the great sacrifice made by our province's war veterans. • The white centre incorporates the Christian cross, Beothuk and Naskapi ornamentation, and the maple leafs outline. The trident emphasizes Newfoundland and Labrador's continued dependence on and connection to the fishery and marine resources. The provincial flag symbolizes the past, present and future of Newfoundland and Labrador. | |
 Native Newfoundland | |

 Labrador |
|
| Flag of Labrador What the colours represent: • White represents snow. • Green symbolizes the land. • Blue represents the waters of Labrador's rivers, lakes and the sea. What the spruce twig represents: • The spruce twig in the upper left-hand corner was chosen because this tree is common in all regions of Labrador. • The three branches of the twig symbolize the three peoples of Labrador: the Inuit, the Innu, and the European settlers. • The twig grows from one stalk, representing the common origin of all humanity. • The shorter inner twig represents the past, while the larger outer twig represents a brighter future. | |
 Union Jack | |
| The Union Jack The United Kingdom flag commonly known as "The Union Jack" was flown on land to symbolize Newfoundland's membership in the British Empire. It was adopted as the country's official flag by the National Flag Act of 1931, and re-adopted as the provincial flag in 1952. It was replaced by the present provincial flag in 1980. | |
