The Franco-Albertan flag is the work of Jean-Pierre Grenier and was unveiled at the ACFA annual congress on March 6, 1982.

• Blue represents the Albertan population, while white symbolizes the Francophone community.
• Their blending, along the oblique line, signifies that it is important and necessary for the Francophonie to be part of the Albertan community and for the latter to recognize the rights, wealth, and value of Franco-Albertans.
• The two flowers, the wild rose and the fleur-de-lis, are the two most distinctive symbols of these two aspects: Alberta and the Francophonie.
• The two diagonal stripes across the flag also have historical significance, representing the roads and waterways our ancestors used to explore and settle the region. They also serve as a reminder of our rights as the founding people of Alberta.

The Franco-Albertan flag has been recognized by the Government of Alberta since June 2017 as the first symbol of distinction under the Alberta Emblems Act.
