The Canadian flag, officially known as the National Flag of Canada, consists of two vertical red bands on either side and a central white square bearing a stylized 11-pointed red maple leaf. Designed by George F. G. Stanley and John Matheson, it was proclaimed on February 15, 1965, replacing the Canadian Red Ensign. The red symbolizes sacrifice and bravery, white represents peace and honesty, and the maple leaf reflects Canada’s natural heritage and unity.
