Divided red over six white and blue wavy stripes, with the municipal arms centred in a white patch on the red field.
The Town of Glovertown (2,122 inhabitants in 2011; 7,033 ha) is located in
northeastern Newfoundland.
The cross signifies the strong Christian
beliefs of the town’s people. Symbols of enforcement, education and justice are
found on the cross. Together, all four are considered the most important aspects
of our community development. The top portion of the shield depicts some of the
area’s rich history with a sheltered cove, a Beothuk* canoe, the ocean and an
European ship. The golden arrow representing progress and development, ties the
shield to the provincial flag. The potato plant refers to the staple food and
agriculture of the settlers. Local flora and fauna are represented, with the
beaver symbolizing the town’s ties to Canada. The wavy lines represent the sea.
The municipal crest also graces our first municipal flag, made available to the
public in 2004.
