List of Canadian flags

The Department of Canadian Heritage lays out protocol guidelines for the display of flags, including an order of precedence; these instructions are only conventional, however, and are generally intended to show respect for what are considered important symbols of the state or institutions. The Sovereign's Flag for Canada is supreme in the order of precedence, followed by those for the monarch's representatives, the personal flags of other members of the Royal Family, and then the national flag and provincial flags.
Many museums across Canada display historic flags in their exhibits. The Canadian Museum of History, in Hull, Quebec has many culturally important flags in their collections. Settlers, Rails & Trails Inc., in Argyle, Manitoba holds the second largest exhibit - known as the Canadian Flag Collection.

	1812–1821	Pemmican War	Metis Flag
	1837	Lower Canada Rebellion	This flag was created by Marie-Louise Félix, Émilie Berthelot and Marie-Louise-Zéphirine Labrie in 1837, also involved in the Association of Patriotic Ladies of the Deux-Montagnes County. We see a maple branch surmounted by a muskellunge, surrounded by a crown of cone and pine branches. The C would mean "Canada" and JB would mean "Jean-Baptiste", the patron saint of "Canadians" since the creation of the Société Saint-Jean- Baptiste in 1834. The original is in Château Ramezay, in Montreal.
	1832–1838	Patriote flag	The proposed flag for the Republic of Lower Canada. It is still used today by some souverainists, in mostly 4 variants: the original, and three versions with the yellow star in the top left corner. Of which, two of them have Henri Julien's Patriot painting of 1904, one in colour and the other stylised in black and white.
	1837–1838	Flag of the Republic of Canada	A blue-white-red vertical tricolour with two white stars representing the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada and a crescent moon representing the "hunter's clubs" that organized and led the insurrection affixed at the hoist.
	1869-1870	North-West Rebellion	Often mistaken as the flag used in the 1885 resistance, the flag used by the Provisional Government of Rupert's Land and the North-West was described in various ways. Most descriptions mention a fleur-de-lys, shamrock and a white background.
	1885	Provisional Government of Saskatchewan	The day of the provisional government's proclamation, Father Vital Fourmond, a witness, wrote "As a flag chose the white flag of ancient France, saying that he was called to renew its ancient glories. On it he placed a large image of Mary's immaculate heart."
