The flag of the Village of Charlo, New Brunswick is turquoise with village
logo on it. The Great Blue Heron was chosen as the visual symbol of the
Village of Charlo because of its plentiful numbers in the area. The Great Blue
Heron is one of Canada's most spectacular birds. It aptly symbolizes the
marine and aquatic milieu along the shores of the Bay of Chaleur. The yellow
represents the sun, the green represents the forest and the overall blue
turquoise represents the Bay of Chaleur. Information and photo of the flag
thanks to Yvette from the Village Staff.
About the village:
"Incorporated in 1966, Charlo is one of the older settlements in Restigouche
County. The first plot of land was granted in 1799, the oldest Catholic parish
in the county was established in 1853. Today, Charlo has a mixed population of
1600 English and French speaking inhabitants of Catholic and Protestant
denomination. The people of Charlo have worked together over the years to
establish attractions and facilities to serve visitors and residents alike." -
