History
The flag of Saskatchewan was adopted on September 22, 1969, the result of a province-wide competition that drew over 4000 entries. The winning entry was one of the 13 designed by Anthony Drake of Hodgeville, Saskatchewan. Drake came and left Saskatchewan from the United Kingdom and did not have an opportunity to see his winning design fly until returning to Hodgeville. Saskatchewan politician Percy Schmeiser was on the flag committee in 1969 during his time as member of the Legislative Assembly and was at the inaugural flag raising ceremony, unlike Anthony Drake. The two finally met when Drake returned in 2019.

60th anniversary flag
In preparation for the province's Diamond Jubilee in 1965, the government organized a competition to design a distinctive flag utilizing the colours of the province's coat of arms. Sister Imelda of St. Angela's Convent of Prelate designed the winning flag, and it was selected from 241 other entries. The flag was first hoisted on 31 January 1965. Its use continued as the province's flag for the Canadian centennial in 1967, and in the years prior to the selection of the current flag Sister Imelda's was used as well. The flag's sponsors hoped it would officially be the province's flag, as it was being used to represent Saskatchewan, but that was not the case.

The Diamond Jubilee flag is blazoned per fess gules and vert, in the fly an escutcheon of the Arms of Saskatchewan fimbriated or, in the hoist a stalk of wheat or. The red in the top half symbolizes the fires that used to rage through the prairies in the years before cultivation, the green represents the luxuriant growth, and the gold representing the ripening the wheat fields.

Fransaskois flag
This flag used to represent the heritage of the French speakers of Saskatchewan and is blazoned Or a cross enhanced throughout vert, its vertical beam to the hoist, in the fly a fleur-de-lis gules its traverse vert.

The symbolism within the Fransaskois flag is mostly the same as the provincial flag with the yellow and green representing the wheat and the forests respectively. However, with the addition of the cross alluding to the role that the Catholic Church and the many missionaries had in settling what is now the province of Saskatchewan and the fleur-de-lis which represents the Francophone population globally; it is coloured red to show the fighting courage in the battle of preserving the rights of their culture and language; it makes the flag distinguishable enough to stand out on its own.

Standard of the lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan
The lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan is a viceregal representative of the monarch of Canada and thus has their own flag. It has precedence over any other flag except the royal standard and the flag of the governor general of Canada, unless the governor general is a guest of the lieutenant governor. This flag is flown at the home and office of the lieutenant governor as well as any buildings that may conduct official duties.
