Answer explanation

The Maple Leaf Tartan was officially adopted on March 9^th, 2011 as a Canadian national emblem. The tartan was created in 1964 by David Weiser in commemoration of the 100^th anniversary of the confederation of Canada that was due to take place in 1967. The tartan’s design incorporates all the color changes the maple leaf goes through during all the four seasons.
