The modern side's colours reflect the colours of the Labrador Flag.
Design
The flag itself is 1:2 in its proportions and composed of three fesses. From the top they are white, green and blue, in a proportion of 2:1:2. In the left of the white field is a stylized representation of a sprig of the black spruce, a common tree in Labrador. It has two year-growths, the first growth shorter than the second growth, and both have three branches (including the centre branch), each of approximately equal length.
Symbolism
The top white bar represents the snow which colours the culture and lifestyle of Labradorians like no other element. The bottom blue bar represents the waters of Labrador which serve as the highway and sustainer of the people of Labrador. The centre green bar represents the nurturing land. It is thinner than the other two, as the northern climes of Labrador have short summers.
The twig is in two year-growths to represent the past and future of Labrador. The shorter growth of the inner twigs represents the hardships of the past, while the outer twigs are longer as a representation of the hope Labradorians have for the future. The three branches represent the three founding nations of Labrador; the Innu, the Inuit, and the white settler. The three branches emerging from a single stalk represents the unity of the distinct peoples in the brotherhood of mankind.
