NAVA 33 / ICV 18: Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Laurel Point Inn
July 28–August 2, 1999
Details and additional photos of NAVA 33 / ICV 18: The NAVA 33/ICV 18 Flag:

The flag was designed by Truman G. Pope.  The flag shows a red, white, and blue NAVA chevron dividing the field.  The area outside the chevron is dark blue with yellow waves, similar to the ones on the British Columbia flag.  The field inside the chevron is divided in half vertically and colored red and white.  The “V” represents the word “vexillology” and the name “Victoria”, site of the Congress, located on “Vancouver” Island.  It is depicted in three stripes of blue-white-red, in the style of the NAVA flag and also the colors of the U.S. flag.  The stylized gold waves on blue recall the flag of British Columbia and are the colors of FIAV.  On the field is a counterchanged maple leaf.
