Fun facts about Abbotsford’s municipal flag:

Abbotsford is known as the “Hub of the Fraser Valley” and our flag symbolizes this. The gold disc and crossing of the blue bars represents Abbotsford, at the centre of the roads running through the Fraser Valley. The strawberry flower is the fraise of the Fraser clan, and is a reference to Simon Fraser, the namesake of the valley. The green background references the rich agricultural lands, meadows and forests associated with our great City.
