When did the maple leaf first appear on the Canadian flag?
The present Canadian National Flag has a maple leaf. The maple leaf first appeared as a symbol on a Canadian Flag in 1837. This came about after Étienne Parent added maple leaves to the masthead of his newspaper, Le Canadie, in 1836 and noted, "Le principal, la feuille d'Erable, a été, comme on sait, adopté comme l'emblême du Bas-Canada..." In due course, in 1837 the 'Patriots of Saint-Eustache' carried a banner/flag with a design very similar to the masthead of the Le Canadien, i.e. showing the maple leaf. In 1870, after the Confederation, the Canadian Governor General's flag displayed a wreath of maple leaves at the centre. Then, in 1871, an article in the Canadian Illustrated News mistakenly displayed the symbols from the Governor General's Flag as an ensign badge. In 1965, shortly before the centennial of the country, Canada had its first official and exclusively Canadian flag: the National Flag: with a single maple leaf at the centre.For more information see Related Links below the following advertisements:

The current Canadian flag, known as the Maple Leaf or l'Unifolie, was chosen by the Special Flag Committee after a nationwide contest to replace the Canadian Red Ensign. The flag, designed by a historian named George Stanley, was selected after a unanimous vote by the Special Flag Committee on October 22, 1964. It was approved by a vote of 163-78 in the House of Commons on December 15 (after much debate) and the Senate on December 17. HM Queen Elizabeth II signed a royal proclamation on January 28, 1965 officially naming the Maple Leaf as the flag of Canada. The new flag was first raised on Parliament Hill on February 15, 1965 in the presence of the Prime Minister and Governor-General. Simultaneously: the Canadian Red Ensign was lowered at the United Nations in New York, Canadian diplomatic offices abroad, and all Canadian ships around the world and replaced with the Maple Leaf. February 15 is celebrated nationally as National Flag of Canada Day (or simply "Flag Day").
