About Tierra del Fuego Province subdivisions

There are just three municipalities in the Argentine Provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur. These are: Río Grande, Tolhuin and Ushuaia. These municipalities have coats of arms. There are not any Argentine official subdivision flags or coat of arms for Antártida (Antarctica) or any of the Atlántico Sur (South Atlantic Islands).

Río Grande Municipality

The municipal Constituant Assembly decided that the only municipal symbol of Río Grande should be the coat of arms actually used and designed in 1958 by the artist Venus Videla. This shall be the only symbol allowed on municipal paper. This was decided after a meeting with Carlos Baldassare, historian and director of the municipal museum "Virginia Choquintel", Miguel Ãngel Castro, director of the protocole for the Deliberative Council and Mauricio TurdÃ³, coordinator of protocol and ceremonies for the municipality of Rio Grande. The meeting was conveyed by the ARI bloc of the Constituant Assembly in order to amend the descriptions of the symbols of the municipality in the future organic chart.

Baldassare explained that the coat of arms was adopted following a contest organized by the Promotion Commission, which existed before Rio Grande became a municipality. Regarding the municipal flag [designed in a flag contest in 1995-1996], the members of the protocole of the Deliberative Council said that its colours and design "do not represent either the town or its inhabitants"; they were supported by the member of the Assembly Rosa Weiss Jurado, who said that there was "only one flag, the National Flag which is the symbol of our country."
