Comment
In this complex, highly symbolic motif, each element tells a political, historical, geographical or social story about our country.In the foreground, Canada stands strong, majestic and determined; her appearance reflects the country's relative youth, while her protective armor embodies grace and power, ready to welcome the future with open arms.
The pedestal on which she stands bears the inscription HISTORIA TUA EPOS EST, a Latin translation of a passage from O Canada, "Your history is an epic". In one hand, she holds a representation of the British North America Act, 1867, which marked the birth of the Dominion of Canada 150 years ago. In the other, she holds a feather in tribute to the First Nations and the Fathers of Confederation, who helped chart the course of our country.
Canada is crowned with a wreath of poppies and cloaked in a fur-trimmed cape, a reminder of aboriginal traditions and the importance of the fur trade in the country's early days. Perhaps tellingly, she carries no weapon - a nod to Canada's pacifist, peacekeeping role around the world.
At the back, two unified flags are reminiscent of unfurling wings or billowing sails, giving the impression that Canada is a figurehead guiding us through the often tumultuous waters of history. In the background rises Mount Logan, the country's highest peak, illustrating the diversity of the land and evoking the ability of the Canadian people to "rise to the challenge".
