A series of historical photos were on display. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the raising of the Maple Leaf. On February 15th, 1965, the new national flag was raised on Parliament Hill. The date is Flag Day now.
The flag has spent time in space.
This is a maple leaf made of people, all in red gathered together on Canada Day for photographic posterity.
Terry Fox incorporated the flag into his shirts he wore during his Marathon of Hope.
This former bank looks dramatic in blue spotlights. Another ice sculpture stands in front of it, with the flag embedded in it.
It has the look of a fireplace, and the Ice Hogs were in front of it as I passed by.
This ice sculpture pays tribute to the distinctive Metis culture, a blend of Indigenous and French that became a people of their own accord, recognized as such.
It is great to have a flag that is immediately recognisable.
