Canada is the country famous for having a maple leaf on its flag. The national flag, adopted on February 15, 1965, features a red field with a white square in the center that includes a stylized, 11-pointed red maple leaf. The maple leaf is a prominent symbol of Canadian identity and has historical significance, as it has been associated with Canada and its natural beauty since the 18th century. The flag represents unity, peace, and pride in Canada’s culture and heritage, and it continues to be a symbol of national pride for Canadians at home and abroad.
