The Dominion of Canada was created by the British North America Act in 1863.

Since then the national flag of Canada and the provinces have changed. Currently there are as seen here in order:

Quebec - blue with white cross and white fleur de lys - signifying French origins

Nova Scotia - St Andrews cross with Scottish lion

New Brunswick - yellow field with ship and English lion above

British Columbia - union jack with rising sun below
