Ottawa
Proportion
1:2
Adopted
January 2000
Design
Blue and teal colours separated by a stylized O
The official flag of Ottawa is highlighted by a stylized white "O" design. This stylized O is meant to represent both a maple leaf (symbolizing Canada) and the Peace Tower and Centre Block of the parliament buildings (symbolizing Ottawa). The design is meant to be simple, but look festive, and to create a feeling of vibrant motion when flying.
The design uses the blue and teal colours chosen to represent the new City of Ottawa. The blue is symbolic of rivers and waterways that are part of the Ottawa region, such as the Ottawa River. The large teal areas speak to the large green space and quality of life in the area, as well as the forests, trees, and parkland within the city. It was adopted January 1, 2000, following the creation of the Ottawa "megacity".
