Flag of Toronto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Flag of the City of Toronto was adopted in October, 1999.
It consists of the twin towers of City Hall on a blue background, with the red Maple Leaf of the Flag of Canada at its base, representing the Council Chamber at the base of the towers. The shape of the space above and between the towers also suggests a letter 'T', the city's initial. Popular lore suggests that the flag, upside down, resembles Adam with a maple leaf in lieu of a fig leaf.
