The flag of Thunder Bay , Ontario, Canada was adopted in 1972. The twin cities of Fort William and Port Arthur amalgamated in 1970, and mayor Saul Laskin wanted to promote the new city by having a distinctive flag. The city held a contest, which was won by Cliff Redden. [1]

The flag has a 1:2 ratio, and depicts a golden sky from the rising sun behind the Sleeping Giant, which sits in the blue waters of Lake Superior. The sun is represented by a red maple leaf, a symbol of Canada. Green and gold are Thunder Bay's city colours.
