The flag of the Town of Channel - Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and
Labrador, is white with town logo on it. The logo is of circular seal-like
design, showing two men in a boat on the water (all in blue shades) and
"INCORPORATED/1945", and in the outer circle "THE TOWN OF/CHANNEL PORT AUX
BASQUES" all red.
Information and image of the logo thanks to Julia Ingram
from the Town Administration.
