As a Canadian I am so very proud to have been able to write this factual account of “Who” and “How” our beloved Canadian Maple Leaf Flag was brought to fruition in 1964/65.

I feel blessed to have known the honourable John Ross Matheson and able to tell the entire world he was my friend. I hope all Canadians will have the opportunity to read this account of the history of the most recognized symbol of Canada in the world and appreciate the work of the many caring hands who helped to bring a positive result to Pearson’s Dream and Matheson’s Promise.
