Spirit of Quebec Tartan Quebec tartan owes its inspiration to the provincial coat of arms, which in turn reflects the history of the province. Named after the province of Quebec, Canada’s largest province. The colours of the tartan reflect the blue and white of the Quebec flag, often called Fleurdelisé. The coat of arms is depicted with yellow and green for the golden lion and the three green maple leaves. The three shades of blue represent the St. Lawrence River.
