Historical Canadian Flags

Before 1965, the official flag of Canada was the Union Jack (properly called the Union Flag). Between 1892 and 1965, variations of the Canadian Red Ensigns were authorized by the British authorities and by 1922 it had become the de facto flag of Canada. The current ensigns, the Canadian Forces Ensign, the Air Command Ensign and the Naval Jack are stocked by The Flag Shop but are only for distribution to authorized military personnel.
