The white in the flag symbolizes snow and ice. Blue is for the sea. Red is for the human effort and gold for confidence in the future.

The golden arrow represents hope for the future and when the flag is hung as a banner the arrow assumes the aspect of a sword. A reminder of the sacrifices made in war.
