The Provincial Flag of British Columbia is based upon the shield of the provincial arms of British Columbia. At the top of the flag is a rendition of the Royal Union Flag, defaced in the centre by a crown, and with a setting sun, a view from parliament across the water at the province capitol, representing the location of the province of British Columbia in Canada.
The flag of British Columbia was adopted in 1960. It is based on the provincial arms and the union jack.
