The Canadian Flag, Canada

The Canadian Flag, Canada. The National Flag of Canada, also known as the Maple Leaf and l'Unifolié, is a flag consisting of a red field with a white square at its centre, in the middle of which is featured a stylised, 11-pointed, red maple leaf. Adopted in 1965 to replace the Union Flag, it is the first ever specified by statute law for use as the country's national flag. The Canadian Red Ensign had been unofficially used since the 1890s and was approved by a 1945 Order in Council for use "wherever place or occasion may make it desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian flag".
