Today is flag day.
On February 15, 1965 Canada’s national flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill.
In 1996 Parliament declared February 15th as National Flag of Canada Day.
This year, the National Flag of Canada is celebrating its 52nd anniversary.
Canadians are invited to celebrate this important symbol of our identity by organizing their own events and by showing their pride on social media.
