A 2:3:2 blue-white-blue triband with the shield centred. The shield is
divided in three by a bifurcated blue river, on the sides are green fields, the
sinister bearing a moose head, the dexter a white native octagonal symbol. Below
is a yellow field with a green spruce. The chief is divided dancetty as a blue
sky over a range of brown mountains. Over the shield is a brown beaver.
Overlapping the base of the shield is the name in English and Slavey.

Unequal triband of dark maroon, white and dark maroon (might be black instead) charged on the white area with a local badge. This badge is coat-of-arms-like and can be blazoned as "tierced per mantel vert, vert and sable, a pall azure over all; on the I, a moose head argent, on the II a mountain avens, on the III a spruce, chief wavy azure over argent per dancety; as crest a beaver proper; motto 'Village of Fort Simpson' on yellow 'scroll'".

This flag was apparently used in error in place of a blue-white-blue flag
both at the original Vancouver Expo '86 display, and subsequently in a flag
display of all NWT community flags in Yellowknife. Shane Thompson, MLA for
Nahendeh, which includes Fort Simpson, has arranged to have the correct flag
replace the maroon version.
