 February 15 is Flag Day in Canada.
The flag as we know it today has been the official flag of our nation since it was approved by parliament in 1965.
It was designed by George F.G. Stanley and was inspired by the Royal Military College of Canada's flag.
The need for a new flag was a source of hot debate as early as 1925 in Canadian history. Before the current flag Canada flew the Royal Union Flag of the Great Britain, which you will notice is still incorporated in Ontario's and other provincial flags.
The use of a maple leaf a symbol in Canadian history can be dated back as far as 1700. As for the colours, red and white were designated as Canada's official colours by King George V in 1921, while the pattern of red white red had been used as early as 1899 in General Service Medals issued by Queen Victoria.
Our Flag is a source of pride for our citizens and is respected worldwide. We hope to see it raised many times during the 2010 Winter Olympics!

Recent studies show considerable links between heart disease and oral health. In particular, gum disease and tooth loss may be good predictors of future heart disease.
.jpg) The theory is that mouth bacteria - which cause gum disease - enter the bloodstream through the inflamed gum tissues, and eventually end up in the same plaque associated with heart disease.
The Best Remedy?
- Proper oral hygiene (brush twice daily, floss daily)
- Avoid Smoking and Tobacco Use
- Weight Control
- Keep a Balanced Diet & Lifestyle

Although we don't often think that poor oral health may lead to such dire consequences, the recent research makes a convincing link. Take heed, practice good oral hygiene, start at an early age, and encourage others to do the same!
