National Flag of Canada

National Flag of Canada

National Flag of Canada Day — 15 February
 
At the stroke of noon on 15 February, 1965, Canada’s red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill. On the same day in 1996, National Flag of Canada Day was declared.
 
Our national flag is a symbol that unites Canadians and reflects the common values we take pride in — democracy, inclusion and equity.
 
On 15 February, let’s celebrate 60 years of our Canadian flag!
 
Join our Legion, celebrate our flag, support our Veterans

Black History Month

Black History Month

Black History Month

 

The month of February gives us all the chance to celebrate the diversity and achievements of Black people in Canada. However, it is also a time to reflect on Canada's painful history and the distinct challenges that Black people in Canada continue to face in their daily lives, such as systemic barriers, racism and discrimination.

Many Black Canadians have served in the Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and continue to do so. At Maple Ridge Legion we acknowledge and celebrate their service to our country.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

International Holocaust Remembrance Day

International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Holocaust Remembrance Day

2025 marks 80 years since the end of the Second World War and the Holocaust.

The Holocaust shows what happens when hatred, dehumanization and apathy win.

Its remembrance is a bulwark against the denigration of humanity, and a clarion call for collective action to ensure respect for dignity and human rights, and the international law that protects both.

Holocaust remembrance safeguards the memories of survivors and their testament of life before the Holocaust – of vibrant communities, of traditions, of hopes and dreams, of loved ones who did not survive.
