- Prologue
- This report was presented by Chancellor Harris.

- That the report be received. CARRIED in both Houses.
- Notes
- A motion on the matter will be presented at a later session of the Synod. (See p. 78)
- Report of the Committee on Church of England in Canada Flag
- To the Most Reverend, the Primate, and Members of General Synod:
- 1. At the meeting of the Executive Council in November, 1953, the Executive Committee of the Council reported that it had received from the Synod of Montreal a letter, asking the General Synod "to give consideration to the adoption of a flag to be available for Church uses throughout Canada, following the practice of the Church of England and the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America".
- 2. The Executive Committee approved this recommendation and on receiving the approval of the Executive Council at its meeting at Fort William, August 31st, 1953, appointed a sub-Committee to receive suggestions for a suitable design and to report back to the Committee.
- Following correspondence with various flag manufacturers and others the sub-committee recommended that such proposed flag consist of the Cross of St. George in red on a white field as in the Church of England and in the Protestant Episcopal Church, but with the addition of a Maple Leaf superimposed at the centre of the Cross. Such a design was submitted to the Executive Council at its meeting in November, 1954, and on motion referred to the next session of the Synod.
- 3. We have ascertained that such a flag, 3 ft. by 6 ft., made of heavy gauge nylon, can be made for $10.50 to $11.50 each. Such flags would be suitable for interior or exterior use.
- We are advised that the above cost would be relatively low compared with more complicated designs. Flown outdoors for 24 hours a day, it would last from 35 to 50 days, but when hung indoors it would last many years.
- The colour of the four Maple Leaves in the Coat of Arms of the Church authorized in 1939, by the College of Heralds is designated in the grant as green and not in autumn tints as generally shown. There seems to be considerable opinion that the Maple Leaf in the flag should be gold. Some have expressed opinions in favour of placing the Maple Leaf in the first quarter.
- We submit the following resolution for consideration of the Synod:
- Moved by Chancellor R.V. Harris, seconded by Col. M.L. Douglas: "That the official flag of the General Synod be the Cross of St. George in red on a white field, with the addition of a gold maple leaf superimposed at the centre of the cross".
