In a nod to the UN logo, a world map within an olive branch wreath is paired with a maple leaf to symbolize Canada's commitment to the UN and its values. Both versions (Coloured and Non-Coloured) include a laser mark of a single maple leaf inscribed in a circle.

This precursor to the UN Charter, also known as the Atlantic Charter, was the result of a secret meeting between President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom. The meeting took place off the coast of Ship Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador, in Placentia Bay.
