Franco-Nunavummiut flag was adopted in 2002. The colors (blue and white) refer to the Arctic sky and the territory’s abundance of snow.

At the center of the flag is the inukshuk (ᐃᓄᒃᓱ in Inuktitut), a “stone statue in the image of man built by the indigenous peoples of the territory, symbolizing the human presence”. It takes the shape of an igloo.

At the foot of the inukshuk is a dandelion flower representing the Franco-Nunavois population. “Reflecting the Franco-Nunavummiut and Canadian Francophonie, the dandelion flower’s stubbornness resists blows and adapts to its environment. Flexible, the dandelion folds up to withstand storms, but always raises its head, proud to withstand the elements.”

The flag is used at events and celebrations organized by Nunavut’s French-speaking community.
