Cape Breton Regional Municipality

The flag of .
==Symbolism==
The flag of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality has a dark green field bearing in its centre a Cape Breton sloop in yellow with white sails, yellow spars, and a yellow outline. It is about one-half the height of the flag and sails toward the hoist. It is surrounded by a double border connecting eight maple leaves, all in yellow. Those on the corners point outward, and those on the top, bottom, and sides point inward.
==Design==
The Cape Breton Regional Municipality was formed on 1 August 1995 by the amalgamation of eight former municipalities: the City of Sydney; the Towns of Dominion, Glace Bay, Louisbourg, New Waterford, North Sydney, and Sydney Mines; and the County of Cape Breton. The number of maple leaves refers to those eight municipal units. The Cape Breton sloop comes from the original Great Seal of Cape Breton granted in 1820 by George III when Cape Breton was a British colony. The green field represents the green forests of Cape Breton Island, and the border, a double tressure flory, reflects that of the Scottish arms on the provincial flag. The yellow represents the value of tourism. Together the green and yellow (gold) recall the Cape Breton tartan. The flag is a banner of the municipality's arms.
