The Y4Y Quebec Symbolism Project aims at promoting the visibility and
vitality of Quebec's English-speakers through the creation of an official flag
for the English-speaking community of Quebec (ESCQ).
Inspired by the
flags of French-speaking communities in the rest of Canada, this project's
primary goal is to create the first official flag that will serve to unite and
represent the English-speaking community of Quebec. This highly creative
project will focus on mobilizing and engaging with the English-speaking youth
of Quebec to identify the meaningful symbols and emblems that represent this
multifaceted community and their place in Quebec.
The flag will be a
unifying symbol for the English-speaking community of Quebec and will increase
the sense of belonging to their linguistic minority community and to the
broader Quebec society. In the future, the flag can be used by all community
organizations to identify gatherings, events, activities and projects that
focus on the English-speaking community.

The layout of this design is inspired by the
Franco-Ténois flag, which highlights the landscape of the region. The white
pine tree symbolizes the Indigenous communities of Québec and the half-wreath is
made of the national flowers that represent the various countries of origin of
the Québec's English-speaking communities, with a fleur-de-lys in the center,
grounding the flag within Québec, and forming an « E » for English-speaking.

A fleur-de-lys starting in the bottom left of the flag represents the
Province of Québec as the geographic context of the English-speaking
communities. The top centre of the fleur-de-lys takes the shape of the maple
leaf, grounding the communities in the broader Canadian context. The bottom
right petal that curves outward forms an « E »,for « English », which underlines
the flag's representation of the English-speaking populations. The array of
colours in the background represent the cultural diversity of the
English-speaking communities, and includes colours from the flags of the many
countries of origin, as well as the many First Nations, who are part of the
English-speaking context in Québec.

This flag design takes its inspiration from the Indigenous communities in
Québec. The stylized clouds honour the seasons and the vastness, and the
mountains reference the province’s ancient mountain range and extensive natural
environment of Québec. At the centre of the flag is the crest of antlers, which
also represent the vast natural beauty of Québec. The antlers are filled by
several different colours that represent the flags of the diverse countries of
origin of the English-speaking communities. This element is inspired by the flag
of La Francophonie internationale.
