The municipality of Ibiporã (53,356 inhabitants in 2017; 30,019 ha) is located 400 km north-west of Curitiba.
Information on the flag is from
the official city website:
"Article 1.
§1.
The coat of arms shall have the design and colors matching the proposal
submitted to the municipality by Engineer Claudomiro Bueno de Menezes.
§2.
The flag shall be composed of the national colors superimposed by the municipal
coat of arms., the flag will
be formed by the national colors with the municipal coat of arms inserted."
And from the page on the coat of arms:
"In accordance with paragraph 1 of article 1 of law 40/59, the coat of arms will have a format
that conforms to the design presented to the municipality by Engineer Claudimar Bueno de Menezes,
which seeks to express the history and ideology of Ibiporã in heraldic symbols. In accord with
heraldic learning, the form of the shield is that which Brazil inherited from Portuguese heraldry.
The chief, with a white field and blue letters, is the Latin phrase Pax et labor, signifying "Peace
and work," which well represents the peaceful and hard-working ideology of our people. The
designer contended that since the patroness of Ibiporã is Our Lady of Peace, the word "peace" should
figure in the phrase that would serve as the motto of the municipality. And since its inhabitants
live by work, this word also could not be omitted. The central part of the shield is made up of four
motifs, numbered in turn from right to left:
