Description
The maple leaf is a powerful Canadian national symbol. Its popularity is largely due to the fact that it is such a big part of everyday life in Canada. First Nations people have long treasured the maple; they were the first to savour its delicious springtime sap. The maple shaped the lives of Canada’s first settlers in countless ways and ultimately became synonymous with the ideals that lured them here – hope, opportunity and freedom that make the maple leaf a timeless keepsake to inspire generations.
