Flag of Charlottetown

The flag is a banner of arms based on the city's arms in a 1:2 proportion. It is bordered on three sides with alternating green and white rectangles, such that the white rectangles have the same color as the field, with the rectangles meeting at angled corners at the fly end of the flag, emulating the border on the provincial flag. The field is white, and in the center is a green rectangle with a royal crown inside, with the rectangle representing Queens Square and the crown representing Queen Charlotte, the namesake of Charlottetown. Joined to the central rectangle at its corners are four green rectangles, symbolizing the four historic squares in Charlottetown: Rochford Square, Connaught Square, Hillsborough Square, and Kings Square. The five green rectangles are in proportions of 1:2 (they are square on the city arms), with the central rectangle representing 5/16 of the length of the flag, with the other rectangles having half of that length. The flag uses the Pantone colors Silver 427C (field), Green 349U, and Lavender 253U.^[1]
