The Maple Leaf:
Few icons are as inextricably linked to Canada as the mighty maple leaf. The Maple Leaf is a proud national emblem that is evocative of Canada's natural beauty, it has inspired artists; graced the uniforms of soldiers pursuing peace; and given hope to new Canadians looking for opportunities. It continues to evoke a sense of national identity among the millions who call Canada home.
