The Flag - Attributes and Semiology: Consists in a field with
approximated ratio 1:2; this is, two squares of length divided in
three vertical strips: gray to the hoist, occupying almost the
fourth part of the field; white on the center, occupying the
eighth part of the field and blue to the fly, occupying the
remaining space. Off-centered to the hoist on the three strips
appears a radiating sun where appears a streamlined semblance of
the local landscape. The gray stripe remembers the Strength and
the Tenacity of the worker, fighter, vigorous and seasoned people
whom impels the Municipality development. The white stripe
alludes to to the spiritual greatness of the Cañaderian men and
women expressed through their Faith and Devotion by their matron
the Virgin Mary; on the one hand and by the other, remembers
their generosity, solidarity and brotherhood: virtues which with
the passage of time have allowed to give origin to the slogan
that characterizes the locality "Tierra de Amigos para hacer
Amigos" ("Land of Friends to make Friends"). The
blue stripe symbolizes the men and women example of the

historical facts on the Independence History of Venezuela; the
coconut palm places that delight the Cañaderian and the visitor,
allowing appreciating the coolness and serenity of the coasts;
the vegetation that allows the culture of the field and the
agricultural operation; the fish, which remembers the fishing
production; the head of cattle that alludes to the cattle
production; the tower, that symbolizes the oil production and the
iguana, typical animal of the savannah and forests of the
locality.
