Falher, Alberta (approximate population: 1109) located in Northwest
Alberta is known as the honey capital of Canada with over 60,000 bee
hives in the region. Hence the image of a bee hive on the municipal
flag. The red cross and fleur de lis on the shield represent the local
francophone community as well as the arrival in 1912 of Father
Constant Falher, a Roman Catholic Oblate missionary who was born in
the town of Josselin Brittany, France in 1863 and came to Canada in
1887. Bundles of wheat or grain on the shield represent the importance
of agriculture to the local economy.
