Flag of Cornwall, Ontario

Municipal flag

The flag of Cornwall, Ontario uses 1:2 proportions with a red field. At its centre and about three-fourths of its height is a badge that displays a coat of arms within a central disc on which appears "CITY OF CORNWALL," and below that "INCORPORATED 1945." Above the badge arches the city name, "CORNWALL," and below it, "THE FRIENDLY SEAWAY CITY." The City of Cornwall currently flies this flag both outside city hall[1] and within its council chambers,[2] as well as other municipal buildings such as City of Cornwall Public Works.[3][4]


Granted flag

On June 21, 1995, the Canadian Heraldic Authority granted the City of Cornwall a flag that features a shield of Arms (also granted), on a black square (Canadian pale) surmounting a gold field. The shield of Arms colours are reversed to the arms of the Duchy of Cornwall, in the United Kingdom.[5] The flag is rarely used besides occasional ceremonies.
