The flag of Yukon, Canada, is a green, white, and blue tricolor with the Coat of Arms of Yukon at the center above a wreath of fireweed, the territorial flower. An official flag for Yukon was created during the 1960s, a decade where the National Flag of Canada was chosen as well as several other provincial flags were created.
The Flag of Yukon was officially selected from a territory-wide design competition in 1967, with the winning design adopted on March 1, 1968. The lower part of the shield represents Yukon's mountains, with the gold disks (called "bezants," a medieval gold coin) representing the territory's mineral resources and its birth in the Klondike Gold Rush. The two white wavy lines represents the territory's rivers. In chief, the red cross represents England, the disk surmounting it is in a pattern called "vair," a type of heraldic fur (literally squirrel fur), and representing the territory's wealth of fur-bearing animals.
