The Flag
of British Columbia
Francophones

The dogwood is the symbol of
British Columbia. The lines represent
the sea and the rise in the lines
suggest the Rocky Mountains. The
“fleur de lys" symbolises the
francophone community, while the
circle alludes to the sun. One of the
petals of the dogwood flower is also
part of the "fleur de lys". British
Columbia is enriched by its
francophones. The "fleur de lys"
points to the sun, and where there
is sun, there is life and hope.
