The Village of Warburg, Alberta (population: 560) is located about 83
km SW of Edmonton in the County of Leduc. The agricultural and
oilfield service sectors of the local economy are represented on the
flag by a bushel of wheat and oil pumping equipment. Also on the
municipal flag are two flowers, the Alberta Wildrose. In the center of
the municipal flag is a white colored crest with the name of the town
in the same dark shade of green as the remaining background of the
flag.
