 The
official ceremony inaugurating the new Canadian flag was held
on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on February 15, 1965, with
Governor General Georges Vanier, Prime Minister Lester B.
Pearson, the members of the Cabinet and thousands of Canadians
in attendance.
The Canadian Red Ensign was lowered and then, on the
stroke of noon, the new maple leaf Canadian flag was raised.
The crowd sang the national anthem, O Canada followed by God Save the Queen.
The following words, spoken on that momentous day by the
Honourable Maurice Bourget, Speaker of the Senate, added
further symbolic meaning to the Canadian flag: "The
Canadian flag is
the symbol of the nation's unity, for it, beyond any doubt,
represents all the citizens of Canada without distinction of
race, language, belief or opinion."
The
Canadian flag is the most widely recognized symbol of Canada.
The Canadian flag has grown increasingly popular in recent
years, due to hockey, and other sports. Many Canadians,
and Canadian-Americans have proudly flown the
Canadian flag through the years. There are a great number
of websites offering the Canadian flag in many forms.
For flying purposes, there is the nylon Canadian flag, cotton
Canadian flag, and polyester Canadian flag. For the
reseller, there are wholesale Canadian flag sites as well. Many
people wish to have Canadian flag wallpaper or Canadian flag
icons on their computers. These Canadian flag items can be found for free on
several websites. There are also a lot of Canadian flag
products to be found online. Most of these Canadian flag
items used to be popular only for Canada Day, but not
anymore. The people of Canada are showing
their pride on Canadian flag t-shirts, Canadian flag ties, and
Canadian flag mugs, to name a few.
There are a wealth of resources online for any Canadian flag
needs that you may have. |
