Description of the flag

Wawa is a small mining town in northern Ontario and has a nice little parade of 10 flagpoles, 9 of which flew flags at https://www.google.ca/maps.

The flag of Wawa Municipality is white with a coat of arms-like feature in the centre, which appears to depict a goose lifting off below a red crown and inside a green wreath, below which is a yellow ribbon some black objects intertwined, probably an axe and a scythe. I can’t find a clean depiction of the Wawa arms on the internet, but Wawa itself is famous for its giant goose statue near the TransCanada Highway (https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/wawa-goose).
