Premium City of Montreal Flag

Description

Proudly display your connection to one of North America’s most dynamic and culturally rich cities with our Premium City of Montreal Flag. This flag features the official civic flag of Montreal, Quebec, a distinctive and historically significant symbol that beautifully encapsulates the city’s diverse heritage, its four founding peoples, and its commitment to coexistence.

The design of the Montreal flag is rich with historical and cultural meaning:

The white background of the flag symbolizes the city’s snow-covered landscape during winter, and represents peace and the aspirations for a harmonious future among its citizens.

A red cross divides the flag into four quarters, reminiscent of the St. George’s Cross, symbolizing the Christian principles that influenced the city’s early development and its historical ties to Europe.
Within each of the four quarters, a heraldic floral emblem represents one of the four principal European ethnic groups that contributed to the city’s founding and development:

• In the upper-left (hoist) quarter, a fleur-de-lis (blue) symbolizes the French presence and heritage, honouring the city’s founders and the dominant culture.
• In the upper-right (fly) quarter, a rose (red) represents the English heritage, acknowledging the significant contributions of English settlers.
• In the lower-left (hoist) quarter, a thistle (purple) symbolizes the Scottish heritage, recognizing the vital role of Scottish immigrants in Montreal’s growth.
• In the lower-right (fly) quarter, a shamrock (green) represents the Irish heritage, commemorating the substantial Irish community’s impact.

This harmonious blend of historical emblems and the prominent cross creates a flag that vividly articulates Montreal’s deep-rooted history, its multicultural foundation, and its enduring spirit of unity amidst diversity. The flag was first adopted in 1939 and subsequently updated in 2017 to include the indigenous First Nations symbol in the city’s coat of arms, though the flag design itself remains as described above.

Our Premium City of Montreal Flags are made from high-quality, durable premium nylon, specifically chosen for its superior ability to withstand diverse weather conditions, including strong winds and prolonged sun exposure. 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 winds coming off the Saint Lawrence River. 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 white background and the distinct colours of the cross and emblems remain true and don’t fade, even with prolonged sun and rain exposure.
