Town of Niagara-On-The-Lake Official Flag plaque - Old Court House Niagara-on-the-Lake
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: "Town of Niagara-On-The-Lake Official Flag On December 10, 2013, exactly 200 years from the burning of the town during the War of 1812-1814, the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake unveiled its first Town Flag. The flag was raised by Lord Mayor Dave Eke and Bishop Ralph Spence, Albion Herald Extraordinary at an official ceremony at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Court House. The Town flag, a symbol of new beginnings and a lasting legacy of peace between the British Crown and United States, features the Royal Union Flag of 1707 and the shield from the Town's official Coat of Arms granted by the Canadian Heraldic Authority. The mace within the shield is a gilt wood object dating from 1792 and indicates that Niagara-on-the-Lake, then known as Newark, was the first capital of the province of Upper Canada. The maple leaf coronets further this allusion and indicate the town's Canadian identity."
