February 15 is Flag Day in Canada

Today, February 15, is Flag Day (in Canada). It commemorates the inauguration of the national flag of Canada by Governor General Georges Vanier on that date in 1965. The day is marked by flying the flag, occasional public ceremonies (especially in 2005, its 40th anniversary), and educational programs in schools.
