York University is located in Downsview, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto. Although the university per se does not have an actual flag, a special banner was issued in 1999 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the university's founding; a color photo of this banner can be seen at the university website.
The university also has a very modernistic logo in salmon pink and white which closely resembles the symbol for a chemical element as indicated on the Periodic Table of Elements.
Finally, there is a b&w line drawing of the university crest or coat of arms on Wikipedia.
It consists of a standard shield with a center base, and surnounted by
a crest consisting of what is apparently a maple tree anchored on a
bar divided diagonally. The shield itself is divided, with two lions
rampant side by side in the chief. The lower portion of the shield
depicts a rose proper; since the drawing is in b& w I am unable to
determine the actual color of the rose, altghough the stem and leaves
are almost certainly green. However, given the name of the institution
I am almost certain that the rose is actually the White Rose of York.
Beneath the shield is a ribbon folded into three parts; the folds at
each end are curled very elaborately, while the university motto is
written on the face of the central fold; the motto, written in sans
serif block lettering, is TENTANDA VIA (Trying the Way).

It is a simple white flag with a red freehand "40" and a line of black
writing above and below it.
