I found this image on Google search, which seems to be the flag of
Annapolis Royal town in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The device on this flag appears to be the coat of arms of Annapolis Royal -
it appears on at least one of the town's web pages
(http://www.annapolisroyal.com/staffservices.htm), where the file name is
named "crest.gif". I go to Annapolis quite often, and have never
seen it flown on a flag, but it might be in the Council chambers.

A quite extensive history is at the community website, but in brief:
Annapolis Royal and area play a special and unique role in Canadian History. The first permanent European settlement in North America north of St. Augustine, Florida, was established at Port Royal in 1605.
From that time until 1749, Port Royal, or Annapolis Royal, was frequently the military and administrative centre of Acadia or Nova Scotia, which covered a substantially larger area than the present Nova Scotia.
