The flag of the District of Oak Bay, British Columbia, is horizontally
divided where the lower field is twice as wide. The upper field is white and the
lower field is blue. On the white field are positioned two red maple leaves
and between them a wreath of oak and bay leaves in green with acorns in gold
and brown and berries in red. On the blue field is positioned a gold sea
lion. The maple leaves show that Oak Bay is in Canada. The wreath is called
"chaplet" and symbolizes the name Oak Bay and reminds on many oak trees that
give the name of the community. The central figure, which is an imaginary
animal - a lion with sea creature's tail - reminds on the sea lions and
seals around the community shores. This heraldic "Sea Lion" represents Oak
Bay's connection with Great Britain and the island nature of the
communities. The flag ratio is 1:1. Information and drawing of the flag
thanks to Loranne Hilton, Municipal Clerk.
