The flag is part of a series of flags that were raised on Parliament Hill on February 15, 1965.

The Fabric of Our Being Quilt
- Created by poet-writer and arts educator Nadine Williams, this project is described as “an inspiring textile series fusing art and poetry, which depicts multiple Black Canadian experiences.’’
Remembering Windsor’s Emancipation Celebrations
- Developed by Guest Curator Irene Moore Davis with assistance from Amherstburg Freedom Museum Assistant Curator Lorene Bridgen-Lennie, and local author and scholar Kimberly Simmons, this display explores early Emancipation celebrations in the Windsor region, the impact of Walter Perry on the celebration’s growth, the importance of Jackson Park, and more.
Hockey from the Canadian Museum of History
- This exhibition is an engaging two-dimensional display that uses photographs and reproductions of key artifacts, memorabilia and works of art to present hockey highlights from yesterday and today. From Paul Henderson’s winning goal for Canada in the 1972 Summit Series to Manon Rhéaume’s debut as a National Hockey League (NHL) goalie to Sheldon Kennedy’s advocacy on behalf of sexual abuse victims, Hockey revisits game-changing moments and players.
