Important SymbolsOf Canadian National Identity

Every country has symbols that are important to it; Canada is no different.

These symbols are often (but not always) sources of national pride.

By showing you a few, and discussing what they represent, you will learn a little bit more about Canadian Identity.

Flags:

The Union Jack (the flag of the Great Britain) was Canada’s flag until Confederation in 1867.

Has this changed?

Canada just finished fighting as part of the Afghanistan War. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/07/07/kandahar-final-handover.html
