Historical Flags of Saskatchewan

The publication "The arms, flags and floral emblems of Canada" has the first flag of Saskatchewan.

This flag was granted in 1964 by the Saskatchewan during the Diamond Jubilee and Canada Centennial Corporation for the province's 60th anniversary celebrations in 1965 and its participation in the centennial of Confederation in 1967. The flag is not official. Ratio 2:3.

The colours have a significant meaning: golden yellow is the symbol of ripening wheat fields; green represents the luxuriant growth; and red suggest the fires which swept the prairies in early days before cultivation.
Jaume Ollé, 22 January 1996

The arms, shield only, were granted 25 August 1906. As happened with Alberta, the shield was not shown as a badge in the Admiralty Flag Book, even though all the earlier provincial badges were still shown. The flag may possible have been used on land for a few years after 1906; it was used as a car flag from 1958 - 1963. The current Lt-Governor's flag was approved 26 September 1981. The arms of Saskatchewan were augmented; crest, supporters, motto etc., by royal warrant 16 September 1986.
