The flag was adopted sometime between January and February 2020, based on the
city council meetings. It depicts a logo over a white field, which was approved
on 12 November 2020; being designed by Wake Marketing & Design from Kenora with
some input from the community. The logo on the flag does not read the motto
underneath its name, DRYDEN.
Description of the logo according to the
council: "The city of the North. The arrow marks the direction. The compass ring
symbolizes the region and our place in its centre. The wilderness and trees
surround us. The typeface demonstrates strength and acceleration. The negative
space beneath the arrow indicates a trail. The way forward."

The flag of the City of Dryden, Ontario, has a modern design consisting of
diverse fields of four colors - green, white, blue, light blue, in different
shapes and "Dryden" across the flag, where "D" is white and the rest of the
letters are light blue. Photo of the flag thanks to Lynn Arseneault, Deputy
Returning Officer.

The first flag of Dryden depicted a red field with presumably the old town
logo placed upon it. It is a white circle with a ribbon also in white cutting
across it, reading "TOWN OF DRYDEN". The circle depicts symbols of the town,
from left to right: three trees for the forest environment; a fish emerging from
water for fishing, especially in the lakes around the city; and a factory with
smoke emerging from it, especially regarding the paper mill that exists in the
town. Clearly, the flag was adopted sometime before 1998, as it became a city
that year. Image source from
