Officially adopted by the combined Councils of Labrador in February 2010.
This tartan has been designed to celebrate the Labrador Scottish Heritage. The starting point was the tartan of the Grants of Strathspey since Donald Smith, Lord Strathcona, one of the founders of the Dominion of Canada, was a grandson of the family. The sett and the colours have been changed to make the tartan uniquely Labradorean. Donald Smith set the standard for fur trapping and trading that was the principle element of the pioneer economy.
This tartan may only be woven by the designer, Michael S. Martin, or his assigns.
This tartan is registered with the Trade Marks office of the Government of Canada and the titles "Tartan of Labrador" and "Labrador Tartan" have been designated to describe the design.
