Please note that a (poorly designed) table of related info online at Wikipedia does have a column header labelled "flag", although its column is empty. This might mean that all 9 Regional Corporations and 5 Municipalities of Trinidad and Tobago either have flags or are expected to have.

This from the official website of the Ministery of Local Government, on which one can find several pages of trvia about the minister himself, but apparently not reach (using the nav menu) the pages about the Municipalities and Regions. Using my web ferreting mad skills, though, I am able to give you these:

(Tobago is missing.) Maybe all of these have Canadian style tribands with their logos on the square panel? Either way I bet that the real flags don't even close to my 2006 April Fools versions of TT local flags!
