The National Flag of Canada

The national flag of Canada features a red field with a centrally placed white square, showcasing a stylized red maple leaf with eleven points. The red borders on either side symbolize Canada’s sacrifices and its historical ties to Britain, while the prominent white area represents peace and neutrality. The maple leaf has been a symbol of Canada since the 18th century, signifying the country's nature and vast wilderness. Adopted in 1965, the flag embodies national identity, unity, and pride. Its simple yet distinctive design makes it easily recognizable worldwide.
