History
Canadian Red Ensign
The Canadian Red Ensign served as Canada’s de facto national flag for nearly a century, symbolizing both its British heritage and emerging national identity. Originating in the late 19th century, it consisted of the British Red Ensign—a red field with the Union Jack in the upper left—defaced with the Canadian coat of arms on the fly. Early versions displayed provincial shields, but by 1921 the modern coat of arms of Canada was standardized, representing unity among the founding provinces. The Red Ensign flew proudly during both World Wars, becoming deeply associated with Canadian bravery and sacrifice overseas. Though officially replaced by the Maple Leaf flag in 1965, it remains a poignant emblem of Canada’s evolution from colony to nation—rooted in tradition, yet ever seeking its own identity.

Features
Hi Vis Reflective
Our prismatic reflective materials meet stringent standards required by both land and marine transportation industries. With very minimal light, colours appear clearly, and vibrantly at long distances, much like the reflectors on emergency vehicles, and road signs. This material will also reflect infrared light spectrums, commonly used in aerial imaging systems. This is the best choice to keep you safe where visibility is of the upmost importance.
Velcro Hook Backing
This patch is backed with Hook (the hard side) Velcro style fastener to attach to all of your gear.
UV Resistant
Layered with special UV Protectants and stabilizers that help ensure maximum lifespan, even in direct sunlight
IR Reflective
Pro IR is a must when conspicuity is required. With a matte black finish, the material offers no reflection unless viewed under illuminated Infrared. It will not reflect from light sources like headlights or flashlights
