In 1964 the then Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson, decided that Canada needs its own distinctive Flag.
A committee was formed and the public was asked to submit their ideas.
Literally thousands of entries showed the deep interest among the citizens regarding this issue.

The "Maple Leaf" made its first public appearance in February of 1965.
From thousands of entries, these are the final three selections,
out of which came
the Maple Leaf as shown below.
