The [[Department of Canadian Heritage]] lays out protocol guidelines for the display of flags, including an order of precedence; these instructions are only conventional, however, and are generally intended to show respect for what are considered important symbols of the state or institutions.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/ceem-cced/etiqtt/index-eng.cfm| last=Department of Canadian Heritage| author-link=Department of Canadian Heritage| title=Ceremonial and Canadian Symbols Promotion > Flag Etiquette in Canada| publisher=Queen's Printer for Canada| access-date=18 September 2010}}</ref> The [[Royal standards of Canada|sovereign's personal standard]] is supreme in the order of precedence, followed by those for the monarch's representatives (depending on jurisdiction), the personal flags of other members of the [[Monarchy of Canada#Canada's royal family and house|Royal Family]],<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/ceem-cced/etiqtt/102-eng.cfm| last=Department of Canadian Heritage| author-link=Department of Canadian Heritage| title=Ceremonial and Canadian Symbols Promotion > Personal Flags and Standards| publisher=Queen's Printer for Canada| access-date=18 September 2010}}</ref> and then the [[Flag of Canada|national flag]] and provincial flags.

Many museums across Canada display historic flags in their exhibits. The [[Canadian Museum of History]], in [[Hull, Quebec]] has many culturally important flags in their collections. [[Settlers, Rails & Trails]] Inc., in [[Argyle, Manitoba]] holds the second largest exhibit - known as the [[Canadian flag collection|Canadian Flag Collection]].

The "Banner of France", which was composed of fleur-de-lys on a blue field, came nearest to being a national flag, since it was carried before the king when he marched to battle, and thus in some sense symbolized the kingdom of France. During the later period of French rule, it would seem that the emblem...was a flag showing the fleur-de-lys on a white ground.... as seen in Florida.
