The Canadian Red Ensign was formally a civil ensign, although was treated as a de facto national flag for Canada from the late 19th century to 1965. The emblem on the Canadian Red Ensign has seen several design alterations during that period, although the Union Jack has remained consistent. The Union Jack itself was used as the official flag of Canada until the adoption of the Maple Leaf flag in 1965.^[3]
