February 15th marks National Flag of Canada Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the iconic red and white maple leaf flag of Canada. The flag, often referred to as the "Maple Leaf," was adopted as the national flag of Canada on February 15, 1965. It replaced the "Red Ensign" flag, which had been used since the 19th century. The maple leaf has long been associated with Canada and is a symbol of unity, pride, and diversity. On National Flag of Canada Day, Canadians across the country proudly display the flag and participate in various events and activities to honor its significance. It's a day to reflect on Canada's history, culture, and values, and to celebrate the country's identity as a diverse and inclusive nation.
