Legacy
A plaque commemorating the creation of the Canadian flag was installed by the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) in Kingston, Ontario, circa 1985. Near the Parade Square, in March 1964, while viewing the College flag atop Mackenzie Building, George Stanley, then Dean of Arts at RMC, first suggested to J.R. Matheson, then Member of Parliament for Leeds, that the RMC flag should form the basis of the national flag. The two collaborated on a design that was ultimately approved by parliament and by royal proclamation adopted as the national flag of Canada as of February 15, 1965.
