Flags of Canada

By Stephen Joseph Harper

From the rich historical banners of New France and British North America to the captivating debates of 1964-1965 that birthed the Canadian maple leaf flag, Flags of Canada offers a visually stunning and joyously readable journey through our nation's flag history.

The Right Honourable Stephen J. Harper, Canada's twenty-second prime minister and an avid vexillologist, captures the colorful evolution of the nation's state symbols, showcasing the political, historical, and cultural significance behind British and French imperial emblems, and the flags we proudly fly today.

Authoritative yet approachable, Flags of Canada uncovers the complex stories behind designs we tend to salute more than think about.

Whether you're a flag enthusiast, history buff, or curious reader, this book is a must-have guide to the symbols that define our identity and represent both our history and our ambitions as a nation.

Published in Association with the Royal Canadian Geographical Society for the sixtieth anniversary of the maple leaf flag.

Amply illustrated by Greg Stoicoiu.
