Interesting Info: American Standards & Flag Poles
Canadian flags and flag poles I find interesting. Even though I have traveled across Canada in a jet-plane often, the country has a fast expanse of land covered by mostly ice and snow in the winter. I decided to write this article to inform the general public on the current standards in existence in North America. Greenland is located in North America, and hence flies a North American type banner from their northern flagpoles.
The Canadian standard is one flag that is fairly easy to identify, since its design is considered very unique. Folks have said that this flag to be a vertical tricolor, which it is officially not. The Canadian Standard is a red flag that displays a white square in its center. It was adopted to replace the Union flag.
The Canadian nation consists of about a dozen provinces and territories, and hence different standards are hoisted from provincial and territorial flag poles. When the dominion of Canada was created in 1867, the country only counted 4 provinces (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). Today Canada comprises ten provinces and two territories. Their flags have different official proportions, but in practice almost all are made and displayed in the proportion 1:2.
Unlike the U.S., Canada has no official regulations specifying how to fly or use the Canadian standard. Having said that, one organization has published guidelines as to how to fly their national flag from flag poles however by itself or in combination with other country flags.
Different programs have been in existence to promote this national flag, which was adopted some forty five years ago. Through these programs the Canadian national standard has enjoyed increased exposure. Since 1996, the Canadian people also celebrate their respective “Flag Day,” which was established on 02/15. The flag has truly become part of the national identity of the country. The Canadian land was inhabited by many different aboriginal type groups of peoples in the past.
The flag representing Manitora was adopted on 12 May 1966. It is charged with a shield of arms, which was adopted on 05/10/1905. The featured shield shows the cross of St George, as well as a buffalo standing on a rock.
This country occupies a substantial part of North America, and shares a border with the U.S. Following Russia, it is the largest nation in the world today. A lot of languages are spoken in this part of the world, the most predominant languages being Canadian English and Canadian French. These languages have equal statues in Canadian courts. Regardless what language people speak, the Canadian national flag is hoisted nationally on Canadian flag poles, observed and understood by all kinds of backgrounds.
Don’t purchase new flag poles immediately; consider used flagpoles before purchasing new poles.
