MULGRAVE, NS (Canada)
Design D2
Blue Mulgrave star in Nova Scotia colour Canadian pale with white centre
Like Design D1, except that with an additional nod to Nova Scotia by using the Nova Scotian flag colours of red, gold, white, and blue. So you have Mulgrave represented with its star, Nova Scotia represented in the colours, and Canada represented in the Canadian pale field that happens to also have red bars and a white centre like the Canadian flag. The Canadian flag attribution might be too strong for some, which is why the next three designs are variations in colours that will be increasingly less like the Canadian flag with red bars and white centre. More variations could be made, but they wouldn’t all obey the rules of tincture so I didn’t do them.

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).
