In what year was the Canadian Flag first raised?

  1. 1955

  2. 1965

  3. 1975

  4. 1985

The correct answer is: 1965

The Canadian flag was first raised on February 15, 1965, making choice B the correct answer. Choice A, 1955, is too early as it was not until 1964 that Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson announced his plan for a new flag. Choice C, 1975, and choice D, 1985, are both too late as the flag had already been in use for 10 and 20 years respectively by these years. In summary, choice B is the most accurate as it falls within the timeline of the creation and adoption of the Canadian flag.
