Canada's Colours

Our Official Colours are Red and White

Red and white were proclaimed by King George V Canada's Official colours in 1921

 In the First Crusade a Norman lord, Bohemund I,  had red crosses cut from his mantles and distributed to 12,000 crusaders, who wore them as a  badge on their garments. In later crusades, each nation was distinguished by a cross of a different colour, making the first uniforms. France long had a red cross on its banners while England used a white cross. Time and again in history red and white are found as the colours of France or of England so it's quiet fitting they were adopted here.
