About the flag

The flag depicted is Canada's national flag, featuring a bold red field with a white square at its center, which showcases a red maple leaf. The maple leaf has been a symbol of Canada and its nature since the 18th century, representing unity and peace. Adopted on February 15, 1965, this flag replaced the "Red Ensign" and was designed to reflect Canadian identity and heritage. Interestingly, the maple leaf is not just a national emblem; it also appears on the uniforms of Canadian athletes, signifying pride and belonging. To help remember, envision the vibrant red of the flag alongside the iconic leaf, which embodies Canada’s vast forests and natural beauty. This simple yet striking design is recognized worldwide, making it a proud symbol of Canadian nationalism and its diverse culture.
