The
flag of Quebec, called the
Fleurdelisé, was adopted for the province by the government of
Quebec, during the administration of
Maurice Duplessis. It was the first provincial flag officially adopted in
Canada, first shown on January 21, 1948, at the
Parliament Building of the National Assembly in
Quebec City. Quebec's
Flag Day (January 21) commemorates its adoption each year, though for some time it was celebrated in May. At least one parade marked the flag's 60th anniversary in January 2008.
