The City of Campbell River, British Columbia, has the flag of the following description:
The lower portion symbolizes the meeting of the waters of the Campbell River
and Discovery Passage and the vital industries of fishing and forestry. The
upper portion or "chief" of the shield honours Campbell River's namesake Dr.
Samuel Campbell by featuring the ancient arms of the Chief of the Clan Campbell;
replacing the black sections in this case with Ermines, a heraldic fur that
recalls the early importance of the fur trade. The flag is a derivative of
and follows the heraldic principles of flag design by using features in the Coat
of Arms. Based on the description of the Coat of Arms, the flag is in effect the
shield and coronet expressed in the form of a flag. The Compartment and Motto
while an integral part of the Coat of arms are not included in the flag design.
The flag was designed with the assistance of the Rob Watt, Chief Herald,
Canadian Heraldic Authority and adopted by the City in 1988.
