Canada's flag
The official colours of Canada are red and white. The flag contains these colours as well as a maple leaf in the centre, as you can see in the picture. Similar versions were used before but the flag, as it is today, exists only since 1965, and it is the first official National Flag. This day is celebrated every year as the National Flag of Canada Day.
