On February 15, 1965 our national flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill. Canada was just two years away from centennial celebrations when the maple leaf flag was made official by Royal Proclamation. In 1996, February 15 was declared National Flag of Canada Day and has been observed every year since.
2015 marks the 50th anniversary of our
Canadian Flag.
So this Canada Day on July 1st, hang a Canadian Flag to
celebrate this momentous occasion!!
Happy Canada Day !
