feb 15, 1965 - Canada’s National Flag

Description:

The national flag was at last established on February 15, 1965, after thousands design drafts were filtered through. This gave Canada a unique and recognizable representation identified internationally. Above all, it symbolized Canadian identity, independence, and national unity.
