Flags of the Lieutenant Governors of Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A standard was approved by the Governor General of Canada in 1980 for all Lieutenant Governors. This standard has precedence over any other flag including the national flag of Canada. It consists of the shield of the province circled with ten gold maple leaves (representing the ten provinces) surmounted by a Royal Crown on a field of blue. Quebec and Nova Scotia have not adopted the new design. The personal standard is flown at the office or home of the Lieutenant Governor and from flagpoles of buildings where official duties are carried out to indicate presence of the Lieutenant Governor. It is also attached to the front fender of the car that the Lieutenant Governor is riding in. The standard is never flown on a church or inside a church. It is never lowered to half-mast but on the death of the Lieutenant Governor the standard is taken down until a successor is sworn in.
