Drapeau Fransaskois à Prince Albert - CANADA150 Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

onecrazycanadian: Hi,

The low health score on this cache has remained below 60 since my last contact. I see no sign of any maintenance being done to correct this and I have had no response from the owner since my last contact. Due to the lack of response I have no idea if any corrective action has been taken or if the owner has confirmed the cache is still in place. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time. If the owner does happen to complete the maintenance required and wish to activate the cache again just let me know and I will consider unarchiving it once the issue is resolved.

Thanks!

DRAPEAU FRANSASKOIS À PRINCE-ALBERT – CANADA150

*Please BYOP* You are looking for a black bison tube.

The Fransaskois flag's golden background symbolizes the wheat fields of southern Saskatchewan. Most of the French-speaking pioneers settled in rural communities and made their living from the land.

Green represents the forests of the north. The fleur-de-lis represents French heritage. The form of this particular fleur-de-lis is based on the one seen on the flag of the 1885 Metis provisional government. Red represents the determination of the Fransaskois to retain their language.

This flag was declared an official symbol of the Province of Saskatchewan in 2005.

The commemorative plaque and the Fransaskois flag were presented to the Francophone community of Prince Albert by the Saskatchewan Government in 2016.


*S'il vous plaît, apportez votre crayon* Vous cherchez un petit tube noir.

Le drapeau fransaskois arbore trois couleurs. Le fond jaune symbolise les champs de blé du sud et du centre de la Saskatchewan. Un grand nombre de pionniers francophones qui sont venus s’établir en Saskatchewan étaient des cultivateurs.

La croix verte représente la forêt du nord de la province. La fleur de lys représente la francophonie. Elle est inspirée de la forme graphique du drapeau du gouvernement provisoire métis de 1885. Le rouge rend hommage au courage des Fransaskois et des Fransaskoises qui luttent pour leur langue, leur culture et leurs droits.

Depuis 2005, ce drapeau est reconnu par la province comme étant un de ses symboles officiels.

La plaque commémorative ainsi que le drapeau fransaskois ont été offert à la communauté francophone de Prince-Albert en 2014 par le gouvernement de la Saskatchewan.
