2005 Proof Coin Set
40th Anniversary of Canada's National
Flag
The birth of the Canadian Flag that we know
today was inspired by the planning for the centennial celebrations of
1967. Numerous experts joined the parliamentary committee and after
months of reviewing countless proposals, a new design was found. It
incorporated red and white, Canada's national colors that had been
proclaimed in 1921. And the maple leaf, recognized as a symbol of Canada
since the early days of the fur trade, emerged as the most fitting
emblem. On February 15, 1965 Canada's new flag was raised for the first
time in an official ceremony on Parliament Hill.
