Our 5x8' Canada nylon international flags are made from high grade nylon material. The nylon is manufactured to withstand the elements. Each flag is fully dyed for great ink penetration and finished with a standard canvas heading and brass grommets. The flag of Canada, also known as the “Maple Leaf” flag, was adopted by the Canadian Parliament in 1964 as a symbol of all of Canadians. Made up of two vertical red stripes (left and right) with a white square in the middle, the flag features a single red maple leaf in the center. Red and white, the national colors of Canada since 1921, are the same colors used in the Union Flag.
