Premium City of Calgary Flag

Description

Proudly display your connection to Alberta’s largest city, renowned for its Western hospitality, entrepreneurial spirit, and the world-famous Calgary Stampede, with our Premium City of Calgary Flag. This flag features the official civic flag of Calgary, a distinct and iconic symbol that beautifully encapsulates the city’s vibrant energy, welcoming nature, and its deep roots in Western Canadian culture.

The design of the Calgary flag is rich with local meaning:

The flag features a bold red “C” that frames a stylized white “C” or arch shape on a clean white field. The entire design is contained within a red border on the top, bottom, and fly (right) sides, creating a strong, unified appearance.

• The prominent red “C” symbolizes Calgary itself, its name, and its energetic, vibrant character. The color red is deeply associated with the excitement and spirit of the Calgary Stampede, embodying the city’s “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.” The ‘C’ shape also subtly evokes a traditional cowboy brand, linking back to the city’s strong Western heritage.
• The white stylized “C” or arch shape within the red “C” is often interpreted as a “white hat”, which is a widely recognized symbol of Calgary’s legendary hospitality and welcoming nature, famously donned by visitors. It can also represent a stylized archway, reminiscent of the historic Calgary arches that once greeted arrivals, symbolizing entry and opportunity. This inner “C” also subtly alludes to the Bow River, a central natural feature of the city.
• The white background of the flag represents the clear skies that define much of Calgary’s weather, as well as the snow-covered landscapes during its iconic winters. It also signifies peace and the purity of the surrounding natural environment.

This harmonious blend of colors and unique symbols creates a flag that vividly articulates Calgary’s renowned Western identity, its warm hospitality, its dynamic economic spirit, and its connection to the vast Canadian prairies and Rocky Mountains. The current flag was officially adopted in 1983, a design born from a city-wide competition.

Our Premium City of Calgary Flags are made from high-quality, durable premium nylon, specifically chosen for its superior ability to withstand diverse weather conditions, from the Chinook winds that sweep through the city to its sunny summers and snowy winters. Nylon is known for its excellent durability, vibrant color retention, and quick-drying properties, making it an ideal choice for outdoor flags. Each flag is professionally constructed with quadruple-stitched fly ends to prevent fraying, even in the gustiest conditions. The sturdy canvas header and two rust-resistant brass grommets provide exceptional strength and make for effortless and secure hanging, ensuring your flag remains proudly displayed. This material and construction ensure the vibrant red and crisp white elements remain true and don’t fade, even with prolonged sun and weather exposure.
