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.
The first flag flown over Canadian soil was the Union Jack, which represented British sovereignty over the territory. This flag was raised during the early colonial period, starting with the establishment of European settlements in the 16th and 17th centuries. Later, in 1868, the Red Ensign was adopted as Canada's first official flag, though it was not recognized as the national flag until 1945. The current national flag, featuring a red maple leaf, was adopted on February 15, 1965.
