The Flag of Arviat, Canada is a symbol of civic pride and identity for this Inuit community located on the southern coast of Baffin Island, Nunavut. Adopted in 1986, the flag features a white, seven-pointed star positioned diagonally across the center, representing the community’s name, Arviat, which means ‘place where the shapely land tapers’ in Inuktitut. The upper half of the flag is divided into three horizontal stripes of equal size, symbolizing the three main rivers flowing through the area: the Aulavik, the Thelon, and the Back River. The lower half of the flag represents the Arctic Ocean and its importance to the community’s lifestyle and traditions. The Flag of Arviat serves as a visual reminder of the rich history, culture, and natural environment of this unique Canadian region.
