Canada Flag Meaning & History
Canada’s flag was adopted on February 15, 1965, the first and only unique flag design to represent the country. The Canadian territories had previously flown modified versions of the British Red Ensign, which can still be seen on the provincial flags of Ontario and Manitoba today. The maple leaf design was created by historian George Stanley, using a maple leaf icon designed by Jacques Saint-Cyr.
The national flag of Canada introduced a new type of flag design called the “Canadian pale,” in which the central stripe takes up half of the flag's width instead of the standard one-third. Maple leaves have been an important symbol in the region for centuries, representing the tree that Indigenous peoples in Eastern Canada tapped for sap. The maple leaf icon first appeared as an official national symbol in 1868, when it was used in the design of Ontario and Quebec’s coat of arms.
The red and white were proclaimed as Canada’s official colors in 1921 by King George V. Red is drawn from Saint George’s Cross, which can also be seen on the English national flag. White comes from the French royal emblems first used in King Charles VII’s reign.
