he Town flag was designed by a former Councillor, the late Arch (also known as Black Arch) Janes in 1986. Mr. Janes described the Town crest and what each section represents:

• The animal at the top of the crest is a caribou, the Provincial and at one time before confederation, our national animal.
• The crest is supported by two bulldogs representing this country which was a protectorate of Great Britain for nearly four hundred years. The bulldogs are symbolic of the British Royal Navy.
• The crest is divided into four sections by a Cross. This represents the Christian belief on which our laws were founded.
• In the upper left corner of the crest there is a gear and in the upper right corner there is an electric bolt. This represents industry in the Town.
• The lower left corner bears a tree. This is a symbol for the Town's name, Paradise, which originated in Church Latin and means a park.
• -In the lower right corner is a sled loaded with wood. This represents our past industry which was mainly wood products.
