Description of the flag

From the Minden website:

Formally known as "The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills."

Minden, located 45 minutes north of Lindsay on Highway #35, is the county seat for the municipalities of Haliburton County.

The community is 138 years old. The early settlers were drawn here by the vast timber resources of the Highlands. The Gull River, which now flows quietly through the Village of Minden, once rang with the shouts of lumberjacks as they floated massive white pine and other timber to the mills to the south.

As the timber resources were depleted, the early settlers turned to farming. Since the end of World War II the growth of the area as a popular destination for visitors has helped to sustain the community.

Concerning the municipal flag:

The official introduction of our Municipal Flag was held on Friday, May 24, 2002 in conjunction with the official opening of Booth Crescent. You can purchase a Township flag at the Municipal Administration Office for just $50.00.
