That Infinity symbol is the Metis symbol, Dave. A Metis is part english/french/Cree native. Don't ask why that symbol was used to rep the Metis, I have no idea. Here is a Wikipedia definition of sorts:

The blue background flag has been accepted by the Métis National Assembly as the official flag of the Métis Nation of Canada. The red flag now stands as the provincial ensign for the Métis Nation of Alberta.

The white infinity symbol on the flag represents the faith that the Métis culture shall live on forever.[1] It can also be perceived as two conjoined circles, standing for the unity of two cultures, Aboriginal First Nations and European (primarily French).[1] The flag can still be seen in areas in Manitoba, and other traditional Metis territories such as Batoche and other settlements in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and northern Ontario.

I still don't get the use of the infinity symbol..
