Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! 🇨🇦 (A photo from Guild Park from last fall.)

Today marks 60 years since 15 Feb 1965, when Canada introduced the iconic red and white Maple Leaf. So iconic, that the Canadian Pale, the ratio of the red and white stripes, was named after it. Happy National Flag of Canada Day. #cdnhistory #vexillology
The National Flag of Canada is a red flag, twice as long as it is wide (proportion 2:1, or 64 units in length and 32 units in width or depth, as shown in the accompanying diagram). In its centre is a white square the width of the Flag, with a single stylized 11-point red maple leaf in the centre.

Mental Health break at Guild Park and Garden in Scarborough. Nice quiet place to visit.
The marble facade of an old building stands in the middle of a garden with a female statue standing underneath the archway. A dirt path leads away from the viewer with a safety fence to the left. Fallen leaves and barren trees around each side and long shadows accent the scene. A red stone gate from a long demolished estate stands between two hedges. It opens up to a cliff overlooking Lake Ontario. A bright but cold blue sky above and a green lawn in front of the gate. A wooden boardwalk stretches towards the horizon. On either side of the boardwalk, there are leafless trees and dense bushes with a couple of tall conifers standing in the distance. A few cirrus clouds slightly obscure the sun but otherwise the sky is a clear azure blue.
