Facts about the flag of Canada
Date adopted: 15 February 1965
Designer: George F. G. Stanley
Symbolism: The red maple leaf in the center symbolizes the nature and environment of Canada, while the red color represents prosperity and hope, and the white color symbolizes peace and tranquility.
- Pantone colours: Red, White
- Aspect ratio: 1 : 2
- Hanging protocol: The Canadian flag is typically hung with the red maple leaf centered and the two red bars on the left and right sides. When displayed vertically, the flag should be rotated so that the maple leaf points upward, with the red bars on the top and bottom.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is displaying the flag upside down, where the maple leaf points downward, which is incorrect.
