The current flag of Saskatchewan, Canada, which has the proportions 2:1, was adopted in 1969. The flag has a green upper half which represents the northern section of the province and its primarily forested lands. The left side in the green half also contains Saskatchewan's shield of arms.
The lower half of gold represents the southern section of the province and its primarily grain growing areas. On the right side overlapping both green and gold halves is the western red lily, the provincial floral emblem.
Prior to the adoption of the current flag, the province could have unofficially used a Blue Ensign defaced with the provincial coat of arms, but there is no evidence that such a flag was ever sewn.
