Municipal flag

From the municipal website:

Le logo aux couleurs vert �meraude et bleu royal, d�peint le bateau- remorqueur sur une rivi�re aux abords stylis�s et surplomb�s de trois conif�res. La nouvelle image de marque de Cantley fait donc valoir ses collines verdoyantes ainsi que la rivi�re Gatineau qui borde la municipalit�, tout en gardant le bateau-remorqueur qui pr�valait dans son logo initial.

Ce bateau repr�sente les citoyens de Cantley qui ont men� une lutte acharn�e, durant les ann�es 1980 pour obtenir l'autonomie de leur municipalit�. Les pentes vertes repr�sentent nos principales art�res (mont�e de la Source, mont�e des �rables, mont�e St-Amour) ainsi que les pentes de ski et les glissades d'eau; les vagues se veulent la mise en valeur de notre rivi�re; les trois conif�res sont un symbole de nos jeunes familles en plus de repr�senter nos magnifiques for�ts. L'�tendue verte au coin inf�rieur gauche symbolise nos grands espaces verts du secteur agricole, le terrain de golf ou le camping.

Translation:

The logotype, with the emerald green and royal blue colours, depicts the tugboat sailing on a river with stylized surroundings, surmounted by three conifers. Therefore, the new logotype of Cantley highlights its verdant hills as well as the river Gatineau, which lines the municipality, still keeping the tugboat that was the main element in the previous logotype.

This boat represents the citizens of Cantley who fiercely fought in the 1980s to obtain the autonomy of their municipality. The green slopes represent our main roads (mont�e de la Source, mont�e des Erables, mont�e St-Amour), as well as the ski slopes and the water slides; the waves should represent the development of our river, the three conifers symbolize our young families, in addition to our wonderful forests. The green panel in the lower left corner symbolizes the wide green areas used by agriculture, the golf course and the camping site.

Reported in Cyr and Harrington. The logo was designed by Pierre Meilleur, and a resident of Portuguese origin asked his parents overseas to create a flag with the logo, which was done and adopted on June 6 1989.
