Monday, February 15, 2010ESL Teacher Blog: Celebrating the National Flag
- Canada, the host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, marked its National Flag Day on February 15.

- Have your students watched the parade of nations during the opening ceremony? How did they feel when they spotted the flag of their country, whether native or newly chosen? Carried by flag bearers, the national heroes, the flags evoked a range of emotions, symbolizing the countries past and present achievements, traditions, values and future hopes.
For people of diverse backgrounds, a national flag is a symbol of unity and their own identity. Go to the Canadian Heritage website to read more about the history of the Canadian Flag. Go to the teacher’s corner for ideas about celebrating Canadian Flag in class.
