Franco-Yukonnais
by jan oskar engene - 1996-08-15
Adopted: October 1985
Designer: Cécile Girard
Proportions: unknown
There are less than 1.000 Franco-Yukonnais, but they have a flag. This is
also a complex design with a blue field and three diagonal stripes set from
lower hoist to upper fly. The colours of the stripes are white and golden
yellow. The effect created by the arrangement of the stripes is meant to
represent Yukon's many mountains. Blue is for the French people and the sky.
White is for winter and snow. Yellow represents the gold rush and the
Franco-Yukonnais contributions to history of the territory.
