Description of the flag

The flag is white with three images each showing a figure in silhouette: a face in profile against a blue background, two flying geese against a red background, and a spruce tree against a green background.

The logo of the Regional Government depicts the Territory's people, nature and culture. The three arcs reveal the outlines of a person's face, Canada geese in flight and a conifer. The colours illustrate the diversity of the Territory�the people, wildlife and vegetation that make this vast region vibrant.
