The six-foot-square colour survived a 1,100-kilometre trek during the winter of 1813 from Fredericton to Kingston to help defend Canada from American invaders and several battles during the two-year war. The restoration of this flag is expected to cost thousands of dollars. http://1812waroshawa.com/
