Erin Township

The flag of the Township of Erin, Ontario, was sourced from https://wcma.pastperfectonline.com/archive/2113F6F7-8849-4322-90D7-821531124923, an archive of municipal flags from the Wellington County Museum and Archives.

The flag is a vertical triband, yellow-white-yellow, approximately 1:3:1 with the village seal centred, featuring five yellow rays radiating upward, over which likes a black ribbon and a burning oil lamp. On the ribbon is a yellow maple leaf and two yellow oak leaves.
