National Flag of Canada Act

The National Flag of Canada Act, passed in 1965, officially established the design of the Canadian flag as we know it today—a red field with a white square featuring a red maple leaf. This act symbolized Canada's national identity and unity. It replaced the "Red Ensign," which had been used prior to this. The flag is an important national symbol, representing Canadian values and heritage. The act outlines the flag's design and specifies how it should be displayed, reflecting pride in Canada's history and diversity.
