The flag of Canada, known as the "Maple Leaf," features a red field with a white square at its center, which contains a stylized red maple leaf with 11 points. The red symbolizes the sacrifices made during wartime and the white represents peace and tranquility. Adopted on February 15, 1965, the flag reflects Canada's natural heritage and cultural identity, with the maple leaf being a recognized symbol of Canada since the 18th century. The design is simple yet striking, embodying the values of unity and inclusiveness in Canadian society.
