When was the new Canadian flag raised?

  1. 1965

  2. 1950

  3. 1972

  4. 1980

The correct answer is: 1965

The new Canadian flag was officially raised for the first time on February 15, 1965. This was after Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson made a speech on June 15, 1964, proposing a new flag for Canada. The other options, 1950, 1972, and 1980, are incorrect as they are not significant dates related to the new Canadian flag.
