I found the flag of
Canóvanas at pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defuncr). This
pueblo is east of Carolina in Carolina district. The flag is
simple horizontally BYB with something in the middle. It could be
a crown, as shown in the image
at the Lexjuris
site , where the description of the flag has the CoA in the
center of the flag. There is also another flag with a crown at
pueblos-de-puertorico.com as could be seen here.

The colors gold and violet taken from the banner of the
"Hijos y Amigos Ausentes de Canóvanas" (Absent
Children and Friends of Canóvanas). The crown (castle)
symbolizing municipality. The broken chain symbolizing the
discontinuation of Canóvanas as a district of Loíza. The crown
in the center symbolizing and recalling the supreme hierarchy of
the Cacique Canobaná. The laurels indicatiing the 23 consecutive
wins (one leaf for each win) of the "Loíza Indians"
basketball team, establishing a record in Puerto Rico. The basket
in the middle of the leaves represents the team and its
accomplishments. The rising sun and its 16 rays of light
indicating the sprouting of a new municipality in Puerto Rico and
the number of the incumbent mayors, respectively, before
Canóvanas was separated from Loíza. The inscription in the
banner recalls: the name of the Cacique and the dates of the
installation of the municipal seat of Loíza in Canóvanas,
November 30, 1909; and its creation August 15, 1970, as described
by "Necove", author of the book "El Escudo de un
Pueblo" (Shield of a Town).
