Today, the second Monday in March is Commonwealth Day, known until 1958 as Empire Day.
There will be no Commonwealth Day parade. You may see the Royal Union Flag, or Union Jack, flying alongside the Maple Leaf flag on or at government buildings and premises, such as federal buildings, military bases and airports. If there is only one flag pole the Maple Leaf flag takes precedence in Canada.
In addition to Canadian-born, over 2 million people born in other Commonwealth countries make Canada their home.
