Here are some quick facts about Canada’s flag:
Did you know that Canada’s flag, also known as the Maple Leaf, was only adopted in 1965? Before that, Canada used a British Red Ensign featuring the Union Jack and a shield representing Canada. The current flag was designed by George Stanley and had to meet strict guidelines set out by the government. For example, the flag had to be simple enough to be easily reproduced and recognized at a distance. It also had to be distinctive and iconic, effectively representing Canada on the international stage. And of course, it needed to prominently feature Canada’s national symbol – the maple leaf!
Fun fact: before settling on a single red leaf design, there were several proposals featuring multiple small maple leaves or even a beaver. So next time you see Canada’s red and white flag proudly flying, remember its long road to becoming an iconic symbol of our nation.
