Description of the flag

Photos of this flag were posted on Waymarking in 2019: https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM114Y2_Municipal_Flag_of_Pouce_Coupe_British_Columbia

This photo of the mayor from the village's website also shows the flag: https://poucecoupe.icompasscms.com/sites/poucecoupe.civicwebcms.com/files/media/Mayor%20Michetti-web.jpg

I don't know the date of the flag's adoption, but the logo on the flag was posted on the village's Facebook page in 2014: https://www.facebook.com/VillageofPouceCoupe/photos

My drawing of the flag used this downloaded logo with a slightly modified typeface for the village's name.
