The flag of Hamilton, Ontario, is a horizontal tricolor of yellow and blue, with a yellow chain consisting of twelve rectangular links with rounded corners, alternating large and small, surrounding a cinquefoil.

Symbolism

Blue and gold have long been the city’s colours. The cinquefoil is the badge of the Clan Hamilton, representing the city’s name. The links of the chain are a heraldic symbol of unity and also symbolize steel, a major element in the city’s identity—Hamilton is known as the Steel Capital of Canada. The six larger links represent the six municipalities that joined to form the current City of Hamilton: the former City of Hamilton, the City of Stoney Creek, the Towns of Ancaster, Dundas, and Flamborough, and the Township of Glanbrook.
