*** About the Canadian Flag: The Canadian flag, known as the National Flag of Canada, features two vertical bands of red with a white square between them, in the ratio of 1:2:1. At its center sits a stylized, 11-pointed, red maple leaf. The design was inaugurated on February 15, 1965, a date now celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day. The flag was intended to be unmistakably Canadian and reflect the country's values of freedom, respect, justice, and tolerance. Over the years, it has become a symbol of Canadian identity and pride, recognized worldwide.
