After Rupert's Land was purchased by the government of Canada, the flag continued as the flag of the HBC and the new Northwest Territory. After 1950, the flag was used by the HBC. The current company flag is based on the Governor's Standard bearing the company's coat of arms (in gold on white background), in use since 1779.
