The flag of the Town of Kensington is a modified Canadian pale
design, three vertical stripes of red-white-red in proportions of 1:3:1. In the
centre is the town’s coat of arms, over two-thirds the height of the flag. The
simple shield has a horizontal top and simply-curved sides forming a pointed
“U” shape. It is grey (silver) bearing a cross in red with arms one-third the
width of the shield. Surmounting the cross is a grey sword pointed upward,
surmounted by a flower in white and black in the centre of the cross. Above
the shield is a crown in yellow with black details, with four maple leaves as
its major elements. Out of the crown rises the top part of a lobster (head and
claws) in red with black details. The mantling above and along the sides of
the shield is red, black, and grey. Below the shield is a yellow ribbon, with
forked ends, inscribed KENSINGTON PEI in black serifed letters.

The arms were designed by D. Tunstall, Director of International
Coats of Arms, Heraldic House, Ltd., Toronto (a commercial heraldic
design firm) in 1975.
