My favorite time in Canadian history is 1914 to 1970. I enjoy learning about the role Canadian soldiers played and how wars shaped Canada.
My favourite part of Canadian history is 1600 - 1800, during the early settlement of Canada and conflicts and interactions between peoples.
Because this year marks our nation's flag's 50th anniversary, there would be no better time than the present to learn about that process.
Many of the luxuries we enjoy are the fruits of other's labour and we are tasked with recreating these luxuries for future generations.
Our flag is no longer a relic of the past but a symbol which carries meaning from our collective history and into the unforeseeable future.
The Maple Leaf Flag of Canada is a magnificently symbolic representation of the nation, with an interesting background story.
