Description of the flag
In keeping with the traditions of the British Brigade of Guards, the Canadian GGFG also use their National Flag as the base for their Regimental Colour NOT the Queen's Colour. The Queen's Colour is crimson with the crest of Canada in the centre and 11 Battle Honours emblazoned on each side.

Also in keeping with the traditions of the Brigade of Guards, a company badge is borne in the centre of the colour, and this changes with each new stand of colours. The Prince of Wales's feathers is the badge of No.2 Company. The current badges are shown athttp://footguards.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=59&Itemid=79
