Buy the old Canadian flag and place a part of the first frontiersman in your home. The first flag to have ever flown in Canada was the English St. George’s Cross way back in 1497. Later a cross was placed with the French royal coat of arms and the Fleurs de Lis, and much later as the provinces began to unite the red ensign flag was adopted.

It was in 1621 that the Royal Union Flag, or the red ensign flag, was adopted as the national flag (also known as red Jack). This flag was flown for close to three centuries just as it was in the United Kingdom and was considered the Canadian flag until the mid 60’s when Canada adopted it’s current flag.

There have been many flags flown in Canada, each province flying its own, but the red ensign that was a design taken from the royal Union flag became unofficially known as the Canadian Red Ensign flag. When new provinces joined the Confederation their arms where added to the shield. Much later a coat of arms for Canada replaced the shield. Still an official Canadian flag was not designed until 1964. Before that time the use of several versions of the red ensign flag were flown. If your background is Canadian or you just admire our Canadian friends, then buy this old Canadian flag and keep a part of the frontier history with you.
