Unless "defaced" is a technical flag term I don't think it is a well chosen word. And if it is, maybe an explanation or a link to one would be appropriate. Osomec 2 July 2005 22:57 (UTC)

Defaced is a technical term, I've linked to a definition Zedcaster 05:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC) This is the offical flag of BC right, the correct image??[reply]

Past

If this was only introduced in 1960, what was the flag before and why was it decided to replace it ? -- Beardo (talk) 21:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There wasn't one. fishhead64 (talk) 02:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since I was a kid I heard about the Union flag originally being on the bottom, but I've never seen a source for that and there isn't one here. I think it's an urban legend.

This article seems very strangely written, a minimum amount of information wrapped around a constant harping on Canada's imperial connections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.28.248 (talk) 20:55, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The story about the flag having the sun over the union flag is not true; it seems to be based on the stories surrounding the original version of the coat-of-arms of 1897 which did have the sun over union flag (there is a stained-glass example of this at the provincial parliament buildings in Victoria). However when the flag was inaugurated in 1960, there is no way that mistake would have (re-)occurred because the controversy surrounding the orginal 1897 coat-of-arms would have been long in the past and not repeated. --Davidjsc (talk) 16:53, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
