National Flag of Canada Day, often simply referred to as Flag Day, commemorates the inauguration of the Canadian National Flag on February 15, 1965. The flag, with its distinctive red maple leaf set between two red borders on a white background, was adopted after much debate and a lengthy process to replace the Union Jack. It was inaugurated under the leadership of then Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson.
