The Fleurdelisé (1948) features a white cross on blue with four white fleurs-de-lis. It represents Quebec's French heritage and Catholic roots. Each fleur-de-lis is centred in its quadrant, pointing toward the centre.
The fleurdelisé was adopted in 1948, making it older than Canada's maple leaf flag (1965). The four white fleurs-de-lis represent the French colonization and Catholic heritage. Quebec's flag is one of the most recognizable provincial flags in North America.
