Join the Merrickville and District Historical Society on Tuesday, March 25, at 7 pm at the Merrickville Legion for “The Professor and A Maple Leaf: The Story of Canada’s Flag” with Dr. Della Stanley.

As we celebrate 60 years of Canada’s flag, Dr. Stanley, Professor Emeritus of Canadian History, will share its long road to adoption and her personal connection to its final design. She’ll also discuss a pivotal 1964 memo that shaped the debate between PM Pearson, John Diefenbaker, and MP John Matheson.

Don’t miss this engaging talk! Donations welcome at the door $2 suggestion—and of course, a sweet treat from Violets on Main Bakery.
