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.
About the town:

Basques (also Port aux Basques) is a town at the extreme southwestern tip of the
island of Newfoundland fronting on the eastern end of the Cabot Strait. 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
