Canadian Flag - Official National Symbol of Canada #1628604 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Canada, commonly known as the Maple Leaf, consists of two vertical red bands on either side and a white square in the center bearing a red, 11-pointed maple leaf. Designed by George Stanley and officially proclaimed by Queen Elizabeth II on February 15, 1965, it replaced the Canadian Red Ensign and symbolizes unity, peace, and national identity. Its proportions are 1:2, and the red and white colors reflect Canada’s French and British heritage.
