Flag (the Previous Flag), Coat
of Arms and legislation at Consejo
Provincial del Cañar site. Adoption date is 25 April 1955.
Falko Schmidt, 26 November 2003
Translated from Consejo
Provincial del Cañar site:
"Municipal Decree of 25 April 1955.
Article 2. - Flag
The flag of the canton is made of two equal horizontal stripes;
the first stripe, yellow, symbolizes the agricultural and mineral
resources, while the second stripe, blue, expresses the
transparency of the sky and of the soul of the inhabitants. In
the middle, four stars represents the parishes of the canton,
Biblián, Nazón, Turupamba and San Francisco de Sageo.
Article 3.
The coat of arms [described in Article 1] shall be used on the
official correspondence of the municipality and the flag in all
the official acts."
The website
of the Association of the Ecuadorian Municipalities states
that the municipal flag and coat of arms were designed by Luís
Manuel Carpio Flores, then the President of the Municipal
Council. The same source shows the flag with five stars. The
written description of the flag is the same as above, with
"five" instead of "four" stars.
The provincial
website lists five parishes, with sources dated
1999 and 2001: Biblián, Nazón, Sageo, Turupamba and Jerusalén
("of recent creation").
It is quite clear that the flag was changed after the creation of
the new province, although there is no hint of an updated (or
brand new) Decree prescribing the new flag.
