The National Flag of Canada: A Reflection of Its Society Throughout the 168 years of its history, Canada has been fighting to find an exclusive identity of its own. From the Confederation to the Constitution Act, from Medicare to official bilingualism, the Canadian identity has been redefined over the years through a great number of transcendent symbols.

The Army Profession divides into five main categories to express the importance of what we as a cohesive unit must have and understand to maintain the camaraderie of our organization.
