Known colloquially as the maple leaf flag, the national flag was created to redefine Canada as an independent and unified country. The maple leaf is one of the most recognizable symbols of Canada. It has been used to represent Canadian identity since the 19th century. In 2025, we will celebrate 60 years since the adoption of Canada’s national flag. From coast to coast to coast, the national flag flies, giving Canadians the opportunity to reflect on the values for which we, as a country, continue to strive: democracy, inclusion and equity.
