Quebec, Flag Day - January 21

Flag of Quebec Flag of Quebec

I found little information on the Quebec Flag Day and what little I hound indicated that it is not celebrated very much. I have to assume that January 21st was picked because it was the first day that the new/current flag was flown above the parliament building shortly after it was adopted in 1947.
