1965
Before the adoption of the current Canadian flag on February 15, 1965, Canada did not have an official flag. The "Canadian Red Ensign," which featured the Union Jack and the Canadian coat of arms, was commonly used as a national symbol, especially during World War II. It was informally associated with Canada but was never officially recognized as the national flag. The new flag, featuring a red maple leaf on a white background, was introduced to represent a distinct Canadian identity.
In 1867, Canada did not have an official national flag; the country was still a collection of provinces under British North America. The Union Jack was commonly used as a symbol of Canadian identity, reflecting its colonial ties to Britain. Various provincial flags and banners were also in use, but there was no distinct Canadian flag until the adoption of the Maple Leaf flag in 1965.
The present Canadian flag was established in 1965.
