The Flag of the City of Toronto was adopted in October, 1999.


It consists of the twin towers of City Hall on a blue background, with the red Maple Leaf of the Flag of Canada at its base, representing the Council Chamber at the base of the towers. The shape of the space above and between the towers also suggests a letter 'T', the city's initial.
