MULGRAVE, NS (Canada)
Design B3
Geographic in Nova Scotia colours and golden proportions

Like Design B2 except that the land is represented in Nova Scotia gold for an additional symbol of prosperity of the land. In the theme of the land area being gold, its width to the width of the blue band representing the Strait of Canso is also a golden ratio. That also leaves the land area closer to a square at about 62% of the flag width rather than 67% it would have been had the bar been a third of the flag like in a vertical tricolour. This is also actually closer to the width of the Town of Mulgrave to the width of the Strait of Canso.

REFERENCE
Mulgrave is Nova Scotia’s third least populated municipality at just 627 people in the 2021 census, in an area of 17.83 sq km or 6.88 sq miles. It is located on the west side shore of the Strait of Canso that separates the NS mainland from Cape Breton Island. The Canso Causeway bridged the Strait in 1955, leading to the decline of the town that was once port to the specially design Scotia ferry that carried train cars, and a railway hub that brought those train cars to and from Mulgrave. That ferry is the main visual in the Mulgrave logo (pic 2). First settled by British Loyalists fleeing the American Revolution in the late 1700s (est. 1800), on the Mi’kmaq First Nations “lobster grounds” of Wolumkwagagunutk, Mulgrave has seen lots of economic ups and downs, the last of which was a downturn in 1955. However, residents remain optimistic about their future and this optimism continues to grow today (Town website).
