 Lloydminster, Alberta and Saskatchewan
Lloydminster straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border (the town was founded before the provinces were created), I've seen the town as a whole referred to as "Lloydminster, Alberta/Saskatchewan", whereas individual addresses in the town would be "Lloydminster, Alberta", or "Lloydminster, Saskatchewan", depending on which side of town you live on.
The town flag definitely seems to reflect this nature, the "wild rose" (Alberta's provincial flower) on blue (the main colour of Alberta's flag), partnered with the "tiger lily" (Sask.'s provincial flower and seen on its flag) on green (one of Saskatchewan's provincial colours (green and gold)).
The flag obviously uses the blue hoist from the Alberta flag, with the wild rose (provincial flower of Alberta) and the green hoist from the Saskatchewan flag, with the prairie lily of Saskatchewan.
