The town of Sundre, Alberta (population: 2,518) is situated 130 km NW
of Calgary in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky
Mountains. Sundre takes its name
from a town in Norway, the original home of Nels T. Hagen, the town's
first postmaster, who arrived in 1906.

Passing through the town of Sundre I noticed its town flag flying in at
least three places along the main street, including the town offices. I
guess that makes it quite official. The flag bears the coloured town logo
(as seen at
http://sundre.com/main/contacts.php), but only the mountains and town
name, arranged as in their newsletter (
http://sundre.com/pdf/ad/ad.pdf).
I attach a likeness, made using the logo on their website. This flag
contrasts markedly with the one seen by Darrell Neuman in 2008.

Depicted on this colorful municipal flag are foothills, snow-capped mountain
range, wheat, wagon wheel and lodgepole pine trees. The name of the
town is spelled out in the shape of a bison.
