Stanley returned to Canada in 1936 and was appointed a professor of history at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. He joined the Canadian Army upon arriving there. During World War II, he served as an historian in the Historical Section at Canadian Army Headquarters in London; he was also responsible for the War Artist Program, whose staff included Bruno Boback, Molly Lamb (Boback), Alex Colville, Charles Comfort, Lawren Harris, Jr. and Will Ogilvie.

Involvement with the Canadian flag

On March 23, 1964, Dr. Stanley wrote a memorandum to the Honourable John Matheson, a prominent member of the multi-party parliamentary flag committee, suggesting that the new flag of Canada should be instantly recognizable, and simple enough so that school children could draw it. He drew a rough sketch of his design on the bottom of the letter. Dr. Stanley had become friends with Mr. Matheson in Kingston, Ontario, where their children learned Scottish dancing together. Two months before the Great Flag Debate erupted on May 17, 1964 with Mr. Pearson's courageous -- or foolhardy -- speech at the Royal Canadian Legion's national convention in Winnipeg, Mr. Matheson had paid a visit to Dr. Stanley at Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston. Over lunch at the RMC mess hall, the two discussed heraldry, the history and the future of Canada, and the conundrum of the flag. And as the two men walked across the parade grounds, Dr. Stanley gestured toward the roof of the Mackenzie Building, and the college flag flapping at its peak. is the 82nd day of the year (83rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1964 (MCMLXIV) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1964 calendar). ...

"There, John, is your flag," Dr. Stanley remarked, suggesting the RMC's red-white-red design as a good basis for a distinctive Canadian flag. At the centre, Dr. Stanley proposed, should be placed a single red maple leaf instead of the college emblem: a mailed fist holding a sprig of three maple leaves.

The suggestion was followed by Dr. Stanley's detailed memorandum on the history of Canada's emblems, in which he warned that any new flag "must avoid the use of national or racial symbols that are of a divisive nature" and that it would be "clearly inadvisable" to create a flag that carried either a Union Flag or a Fleur-de-lis.

The Stanley proposal was placed on a wall with literally hundreds of other flag designs, and eventually was selected as one of the final three designs for consideration. Through some clever political moves by the Liberal members of the committee, it beat out Diefenbaker's flag (a combination of fleurs-de-lis, a maple leaf and the Union Flag), as well as the Pearson Pennant (a three-leafed stem on a white background with blue bars on either side).

Stanley's design was slightly modified by a government graphic artist (who, ironically enough, was a separatist), who gave the flag its current look. It was officially adopted as the flag of Canada by the House of Commons on December 15, 1964 and by the Senate on December 17, 1964, and proclaimed by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, taking effect on February 15, 1965.

Support for the new flag grew quickly, even in Quebec. As John Matheson observed in his book Canada's Flag, "when in June 1965, Dr. George F.G. Stanley of [the] Royal Military College ... was granted an honorary doctorate at Université Laval, he was loudly applauded by the student body when the Canadian flag was referred to in his citation.
