History
Ontario adopted this flag on April 14, 1965. Its design is based on the Red Ensign, with the Royal Union Flag in the canton and the Ontario shield in the fly. The Union Jack reflects historic ties to Britain, while the shield combines the Cross of St. George above three gold maple leaves, a long-standing emblem of the province and of Canada. The flag was first raised on May 21, 1965, now observed as Ontario Flag Day.
