The flag of the Village of Lytton, British Columbia, was provided by David Harrison, Chief Finance Officer and
Corporate Officer.
About the village:
"Lytton in British Columbia sits
at the confluence of the Thompson River and Fraser River on the east side of the
Fraser. The location has been inhabited by the Nlaka'pamux people for over
10,000 years. The community includes both the Village of Lytton and the
surrounding Indian Reserves of the Lytton Indian Band, whose name for the
community is Camchin, also spelled Kumsheen ("river meeting"). The Village has
235 residents." - from Wikipedia:

The upper half is blue, with a yellow sun, representing Lytton's status as
the hot spot of Canada. On the sun is a spawning sockeye salmon. The lower half
is red, with the silhouette of a miner with a pack-horse, and a steam
locomotive. Lytton is located along the route of the Fraser River Gold rush, and
the Canadian Pacific Railway. On a white stripe in the middle is written the
name of the village "Lytton, British Columbia" in black letters.
I
thought the blue was brighter when I saw it last year (maybe it was just faded),
but it seems that I failed to take any pictures. I managed to find the spot on
"Google street view" at
http://tinyurl.com/lyttonflag. I think the flag looks more like 2:3, but the
image seems otherwise accurate.
