The Canadian flag was designed by George F. G. Stanley and John Matheson. In 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson appointed a committee to create a new flag, leading to their design featuring a red maple leaf on a white square between two red borders. The flag was officially adopted on February 15, 1965, which is now celebrated as National Flag of Canada Day.

What does the red maple represent on the Canadian flag?

The maple leaf on the Canadian flag represents the nature and environment of Canada. The maple leaf is actually a sugar maple leaf, which turns red in autumn/fall. The number of points on the leaf has no significance.
