Today, February 15th, is National Flag of Canada Day, the anniversary of when our Maple Leaf flag was first raised. Also, on a single day, when Canada possessed 2 flags?

The Merchant Navy is vital to our nation’s maritime legacy, playing an important role in many sectors including ocean research.
To all seafarers, especially our RRS Discovery and RRS James Cook crew, we support you. ❤️

Interesting thread…but there is more to the #CanadianFlag
This is the flag Prime Minister Pearson chose and the Liberals supported in the flag committee. The Progressive Conservatives opposed it and, the #RedEnsign having been eliminated, they chose to support the single Maple Leaf instead. 1/
I saw this one nine months late, or three months early, depending on your POV.
We need more #RedEnsign stories, I think.

Today the 60th anniversary of the #CanadianFlag
Proclaimed by Queen Elizabeth II on Jan 28 1965 and officially adopted on Feb 15 1965.
Raised in ceremonies across #Canada in Ottawa the Canadian #RedEnsign was lowered and the Maple Leaf raised in presence of Governor General Georges Vanier.
This Saturday, February 15th, is the 60th anniversary of the Canadian Maple Leaf flag.
Wave it, post it, and have pride in it.
In fact, wave any and all Canadian flags.

Every day of the year our salmon farmers are out on Scotland’s pristine coastal waters caring for their fish.
On #RedEnsignDay we thank merchant seafarers who cross oceans to deliver 90% of the UK’s imports by sea, and remember those who didn’t return.
