The fleur-de-lys and Quebec’s flag
No recorded challenge is not proof of accuracy. A challenge under review is not a finding that the record is false.
Quebec’s flag, the fleurdelisé, became its official flag on 21 January 1948. Its design places four white fleurs-de-lys around a white cross on a blue field.

More context
The fleur-de-lys is associated with French historical symbolism and forms part of the visual heritage discussed in the citizenship guide. The provincial flag is distinct from Canada’s red-and-white maple leaf flag.
The history of Quebec’s flag involves earlier designs and later legal definitions. The date 1948 refers to adoption of the provincial flag, not the beginning of French culture in Canada. Its historical symbolism should be distinguished from the identities or beliefs of every individual Quebec citizen or resident.
