Long before the arrival of the first European settlers, Canada's Aboriginal peoples had discovered the edible properties of maple sap. In 1860, at a public meeting held in Toronto, the maple leaf was adopted as the national emblem of Canada for use in the decorations for the Prince of Wales' visit. Red and white were designated as Canada's official colours in 1921 by His Majesty, King George V, in the proclamation of the Royal Arms of Canada.
Many historians believe the maple leaf has been used as a symbol of Canada as early as 1700; it was first proposed as a national emblem in 1834. More calls for adoption of the leaf followed, and the maple leaf was used by soldiers in both world wars to represent the homeland.he Canadian flag is easily recognizable among national flags. It contains two red vertical bars, one white and a red maple leaf with 11 points at its center. The adoption of the design dates to 1965.
