The History of the Canadian Flag
The National Flag of Canada, officially adopted on February 15, 1965, represents a significant milestone in the country's history. Initially, Canada utilized the Governor General's flag, which featured the Union Jack alongside a shield divided into four parts. The adoption of the new flag was prompted by the desire to establish a unique national emblem, reflecting Canada's identity separate from British influences. Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson initiated the flag's creation through a committee in 1964, leading to extensive discussions about symbols that could effectively represent Canadian unity and heritage. The resulting design consists of a red field with a white square in the center, showcasing a stylized red 11-pointed maple leaf. This flag was the first to be proclaimed officially by the Canadian monarch and adopted by both houses of Parliament. The maple leaf, now recognized worldwide, has become synonymous with Canada, embodying its multicultural spirit and shared values. Today, February 15 is celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day, marking the day the country embraced its unique identity through this emblem.
