Flags of the Lieutenant-Governors of Canada
- Flags of the Lieutenant-Governors of Canada
A standard was approved by the Governor General of Canada in 1980 for all Lieutenant-Governors. Within the Lieutenant-Governor's province, this vice-regal standard has precedence over any other flag including the national flag, though it comes secondary to the Queen's Canadian Royal Standard. The provincial vice-regal flags are also subordinate to the Governor General's personal standard, save for when the Governor General is present as a guest where the Lieutenant-Governor is acting as the Queen's representative in the relevant province.
Each flag consists of the shield of the province circled with ten gold maple leaves (representing the ten provinces) surmounted by a Royal Crown on a field of blue. Quebec and Nova Scotia have not adopted the new design. The personal standard is flown at the office or home of the Lieutenant-Governor and from flagpoles of buildings where official duties are carried out to indicate presence of the Lieutenant-Governor. It is also attached to the front fender of the car that the Lieutenant-Governor is riding in. The standard is never flown on a church or inside a church. It is never lowered to half-mast but on the death of the Lieutenant-Governor the standard is taken down until a successor is sworn in.
The flag is flown on the Lieutenant-Governor's car, on the provincial landau (used on ceremonial occasions), and may also be flown on a building where the Lieutenant-Governor is present; the vice-regal standard is never used inside a building.
