Here are some quick fun facts about the Canadian Flag:
Did you know that the Canadian Flag, better known as the Maple Leaf, was designed by a 14-year-old boy? His submission won a national competition in 1964 to design a flag for Canada. The official Canadian Flag was raised for the first time on February 15, 1965. It is red and white – the colors of France and England, who were both instrumental in Canada’s history – with a single red maple leaf in the center.
This single leaf is meant to represent Canada as a unified nation made up of many different regions and cultures. Fun fact: There is an extra special Canadian Flag called the “Snowbird Flag,” which accompanies the Canadian Air Force’s aerial acrobatic team, known as the Snowbirds, during their performances across Canada and around the world. Next time you see a Canadian Flag flying proudly, think about its unique history and place in Canadian identity.
