Ontario The arms of Ontario were widely used on flags, for, as they composed part of the official composite badge of the country before Canadian arms were granted in 1921, they appeared on the Governor General's flag, the Canadian Blue and Red Ensigns, as well as the flag of Ontario's Lieutenant Governor. On April 14, 1965 a red ensign with the shield of the arms Ontario on the fly was adopted as the provincial flag by an act of the legislature. The floral emblem of Ontario, the trillium, occurs with sufficient frequency on the governmental flags of the province that it deserves a separate discussion. fraser.cc /FlagsCan/Provinces/Ontario.html   (2538 words)

Franco-Ontarien (Ontario, Canada) The white trillium was adopted as Ontario's floral emblem in 1937, as a by-product of a failed effort to find a national flower that could be planted on the graves of Canadian soldiers that died abroad. Ontario may have the second-to-worst provincial flag according to NAVA's recent survey, but the beautiful Franco-Ontarian flag was just recognized by vote on June 21 2001 in Queen's Park (Ontario's provincial parliament) as representing the province's francophone community. In Ontario, it is recognized as an official language in the courts, in education and in the Legislative Assembly. www.crwflags.com /fotw/flags/ca_on_fr.html   (1572 words)
