Flag
Over Post Head Office
The newly-designed flag definitive reflects the new domestic rate ($0.48)
and features the Canadian flag flying in front of the Canada Post Head
Office in Ottawa, Ontario. The stamps are available in booklets of ten
(random cover images), or in three attached booklets of ten, which captures
the complete cover image.
When Canada decided to adopt a distinctive national flag, a Senate and
House of Commons Committee was set up to classify submitted designs. On
October 29, 1964, the Committee unanimously voted for a single-leaf, red-and-white
design, and on February 5, 1965, a flag-raising ceremony was held on Parliament
Hill in Ottawa.
