The flag of the Town of Bridgewater has a white field with a broad
blue saltire (X-shaped cross). The width of the saltire's bars is one-fourth the
height of the flag. In the centre is a white section, half the width of the flag,
creating an unusual form of the Canadian pale design. It bears a red Canadian
maple leaf, over three-fourths the height of the flag. The blue bars in the hoist
and fly panels are connected by red trapezoids whose longest sections border
the central section. Surmounting the maple leaf is the town seal, slightly less
than half the height of the flag: a yellow ring, bordered by a rope on the outside
and black dots on the inside, and inscribed TOWN OF BRIDGEWATER
N.S. above and INCORPORATED FEB. 13, 1899 below, all in black
sans-serif letters. Inside the ring is a naturalistic depiction of the early settlement,
showing two buildings in brown with smoke rising from one chimney
into a white sky, with a row of trees and rolling hills in green rising from a
broad blue river, which in turn is spanned by a bridge in yellow running from
the upper right to the lower left.
