Registered with the Court of Lord Lyon King of Arms in 1961, the Saskatchewan District Tartan is a two-block tartan with seven different shades: gold to represent prairie wheat, brown for summerfallow, green for the forests, yellow for canola and sunflower, red for the western red lily, white for snow, and black for coal and oil.

Thank you Grant. It may be my screen, or my eyes, or a combination of both, but I can see no white on my picture.

I don't see the white in the above representation either...

Here is another image of the Saskatchewan tartan that shows the white more clearly:

Phew! Thank you.

NOt a Canadian but I do love my Tewksbury tank in 16oz F&K Maple Leaf.

I think that many of the canadian provincial tartans are extremely beautiful and unique. Is it me or is there a significant number of asymmetric tartans in the canadian collection?

Seeing as we already saw Saskatchewan above, I'm skipping it here. Just click on the images to go to the Scottish Register of Tartans page:

And here is a handy map of this massive country to help the non-Canadians figure out where all these places are. If you are Canadian and don't know either, you can look at the map too but you should feel some shame first!

Jock I believe that is the Saskatchewan tartan. Here is a link to it where you can see it better:

As for me I'm fond of the Maple Leaf tartan

Nice Maple Leaves gentlemen, thanks for posting.

And perhaps I don't understand what an asymmetric tartan is but, of the official tartans, only New Brunswick looks asymmetric to me?
