How do you fold the Canadian flag?
- 1
Hold the flag at each of its four corners and pull it taut. The folder holds the corners at the end with the blue and red fields.

Fold the flag in half, lengthwise, with the red field covering the blue field. Pull it taut again making sure the open side's edges are flush with one another.
- 3
Fold it in half again, the closed side over the open side, again maintaining the flattening tension and parallel, flush edges on the open side. The blue field should now be displayed face up.

At the right angle, fold the flag again such that a new right triangle is formed, still keeping the open edges parallel.

Fold the right-angled corner of the new triangle over such that it forms a new right triangle with what had been the bottom edge now flush with the side of the flag below it.

How does kayak represent Canada?
At first glance it doesn't. The Kayak is a boat used by the Inuit. They did not have the same relationship with Canada as Natives in other parts of the country. For example they never signed treaties with the British Crown. They have not played the role of many others in Canada, and are still part of the Canadian colonies.
But the Inuit are recent arrivals to the North. They displaced the Thule about 1000 to 700 years ago. Compared to other Natives who entered Canada as the ice sheet retreated thousands of years ago they are new to this land.
As is most Canadians. With about 40% of Canadians not being born in Canada or having at least one parent in Canada many Canadians are new to the land.
The Kayak is the boat of the most recent Aboriginals, and being a recent arrival is very Canadian.
