Answer explanation
The national flag of Canada is red and white in color with a distinctive maple leaf in the middle. After a considerable amount of discussions over the years, the national flag was officially adopted on February 15th, 1965 when it was raised for the first time over Parliament Hill. The red and white pattern on the national flag is constituted from Canada’s Military College and the ribbon of the country’s General Service Medal of 1899 which was a British medal of honor given to the people who defended Canada in the battles that took place during the 19th century. Every 15th of February Canada commemorates the adoption of the flag by celebrating the National Flag day.
