University Flag

The University Flag is flown on the McCall MacBain Arts Building. It features McGill iconic coat of arms elements and its three martlets, the University’s mascot, said to have no feet and so in perpetual flight, always soaring in pursuit of higher learning.

The Governor General's flag is flown when the Governor General of Canada is on campus as the Visitor of the University.
