Description of the flag

Berwick is a town in Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada, with more than 2000 inhabitants.
Valentin Poposki, 1 February 2009

The flag of Berwick is in proportions 1:2, vertically divided blue- white-blue (1:2:1) with the town's coat of arms in the middle.

The coat of arms of Berwick is presented on the municipal website as follows:

Arms

The shield is divided into four sections. The ear of barley in the base refers to the Saxon origin of the name, from Bere-wick, a storehouse for barley. The chevron represents the roof of the storehouse. The blue and white wavy bands symbolize the Annapolis and Cornwallis Rivers. The zigzag lines represent locally produced electricity. The Jack, in use from 1606 to 1801 A.D., commemorates the early settlers of United Empire Loyalist stock.

Crest

The crown above the shield depicts maple leaves for Canada and trailing arbutus (mayflowers) for Nova Scotia. The bear is taken from the arms of the Town's namesake in England.

Supporters

The smithy is a traditional figure used in heraldry to depict industry. Similarly, Ceres, goddess of the harvest, is the figure used for agriculture.

Motto

By Industry and Integrity is the motto which roots the Town of Berwick to its past, but also guides our present and drives our future.
