The flag of Yukon is a vertical green, white, and blue tricolor. In the center white panel is the Coat of Arms of Yukon, placed above a wreath of fireweed, the territorial flower. The flag’s ratio is 1:2, the same as Canada’s flag.

It was created in the 1960s and officially adopted on March 1, 1968. The design came from a territory-wide competition held during Canada’s Centennial celebrations; 137 submissions were received and Lynn Lambert, a Yukon College graduate, won with a design that features the coat of arms above the fireweed wreath.

Coat of Arms details: the crest shows a Malamute sled dog standing on a mound of snow. The shield has three parts: top shows a cross of St. George with a vair roundel, middle has blue wavy lines for Yukon's rivers, and bottom shows red mountains with gold circles representing mineral resources.

Note: while it is a three-colored flag, the coat of arms makes it a defaced tricolor rather than a plain tricolor.
