In 1958, the Alberta Government authorized the design of an official flag. On 1 June 1968, the Flag of Alberta, Canada was adopted .1
The flag has the proportions 1:2, with the provincial shield of arms in the centre of a royal ultramarine blue background. The shield's height is 7/11 that of the flag's height.1
The provincial colours, adopted in 1984, are blue and gold (deep yellow); they are also referred to as ‘Alberta blue’ and ‘Alberta gold,’ appearing on the flag/shield in the sky/background and wheat background, respectively.
