The flag of Creston, B.C. features a white swan on a blue background. According to Bev Caldwell, Executive Assistant, with the town of Creston, the flowers are apple and cherry blossoms, which represent the agriculture/fruit industry that the Valley is known for. This flag was adopted by Council in 2008, with the official unveiling on October 11, 2008. It was designed by Graham Anderson, Cowichan Herald Extraordinary of the Heraldic Authority (Government House).
