As the viceregal representative of the monarch of Canada, the lieutenant governors of the Canadian provinces have since Confederation been entitled to and have used a personal standard.
Common frame of each flag consists of the escutcheon of the arms of the province circled with ten gold maple leaves (representing the ten provinces) surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown on a field of blue.
The flags of the lieutenant governors of Quebec and of Nova Scotia use a Tudor Crown.
It is also attached to the front fender of the car or on the provincial landau that the lieutenant governor is riding in.
Should a lieutenant governor die while in office, the standard is taken down until a successor is sworn in.
