A great way to own and cherish a treasured symbol of Canada.
The maple leaf is a powerful symbol of Canadian identity and values. Internationally recognized, the maple leaf has been Canada's emblem for almost three hundred years. When the symbol first came into official use in the nineteenth century, Canadians chose a twig of three golden maple leaves to represent Ontario and a twig of three green maple leaves to represent Quebec. As the years unfolded, so did the intricacies and applications of this national symbol, most prominentlyon the national flag and on Canadian currency.
