London Celebrates Canada will return to the Community Booth in Masonville Place on Saturday, 9 February to distribute hand-held Canadian Flags to children and replace official size Canadian Flags to the first twelve Londoners that bring in their worn and tired official sized (3x6 ft) flag.
National Flag of Canada Day
February 15 was declared National Flag of Canada Day in 1996. It marks the day in 1965 when our red and white maple leaf flag was first raised over Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and indeed, hundreds of communities across Canada. Red and white were designated as Canada's official colours in 1921 by His Majesty King George V. This is a perfect opportunity to celebrate our flag and what it stands for: a Dominion that is the envy of the world.
