The symbols of of Jacinto Jijón y Caamaño are prescribed by a Cantonal
Ordinance adopted on 4 March 2009. The flag is described as
"yellow-white-green"; those colours are most probably arranged horizontally.
The colours represent the beauty of the parish:
- yellow represents the resources of the fields, the climate and the production.
- white represents the purity of the sources and rivers, and the people's
spirituality.
- green represents the mountains, the green pastures and the abundance of the
fauna and flora.
