"On September 1, 2017, the Royal Canadian Air Force will receive its
third "stand" of Colours from His Excellency the Right Honourable David
Johnston, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada, at Nathan
Phillips Square in Toronto. The stand consists of two Colours. The Queen's
Colour, a Canadian maple leaf flag with the Sovereign's cypher in the centre,
symbolizes loyalty to the Crown. The Command Colour, a blue flag with the
RCAF's badge at the centre, symbolizes the RCAF's pride, cohesion and valour."
The Royal Canadian Air Force's new Queen's Colour carries the historic
name of the RCAF, which was restored in 2011. Attached image ca^rcafqc17.gif

The Royal Canadian
Air Force's new Command Colour carries the new badge of the RCAF, which was
created following the restoration of the RCAF's historic name in 2011. As
well, the tops of the maple leaves at the four corners now point outward, as
they did on the first RCAF Command Colour, presented in 1950. Attached image
