The National 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 stylized 11-pointed red maple leaf. Designed by George Stanley and John Matheson, it was officially proclaimed by Queen Elizabeth II on February 15, 1965, replacing the Canadian Red Ensign. Its bold, symmetrical design reflects simplicity, inclusivity, and modern Canadian identity.
