The colors of the Alberta Tartan represent the green of our forests, the gold of our wheat fields, the blue of our clear skies and sparkling lakes, the pink of our wild rose, and the black of our coal and petroleum. The tartan was designed by the Edmonton Rehabilitation Society for the Handicapped and was officially recognized by an Act of Legislature in 1961. The Alberta Dress Tartan complements the Alberta Tartan and can be worn for dancing, special occasions and formal attire. It includes the same colours as the Alberta Tartan and adds large sections of white, a symbol of Alberta’s clean bright snowy days. (adopted 2000)
