Description of the flag

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.

A Marine Atlantic ferry terminal is located in the town which is the primary entry point onto the island of Newfoundland and the western terminus of the Trans-Canada Highway in the province. The town was incorporated in 1945 and the current population (2006) is 4,319.
