The flag of the District of Metchosin, British Columbia, is black and white
district logo on a royal blue background. Information thanks to Lisa Urlacher,
Deputy Clerk.
The District:
"The District of Metchosin is a small,
coastal community (fewer than 5000 people) just outside of Greater Victoria, in
Metro Victoria's British Columbia Western Communities. Many Metchosinites are
small farmers (vegetables, orchards, poultry, sheep, some pigs and cattle). Most
are retired or work outside the community. There are also many home based
businesses (everything from massage and dentistry to international consulting).
The name Metchosin is the anglicised version of the native "Smets-chosen", which
means "place of stinking fish". Local legend maintains that many years prior to
the Europeans' arrival, an orca beached and died, and that everywhere that could
smell it rotting became part of Metchosin. The town's museum, which was once its
one-room school before an increasing population necessitated a larger building,
claims to have vertebrae from the animal on display. Metchosin's community
symbol is, perhaps unsurprisingly, an orca. It has 4,795 residents." - from
