Comment
Featured here, the beaver is a symbol of the Canadian wilderness and the waterways that criss-cross our territory. This gregarious animal is well adapted to its environment - qualities dear to the Canadian spirit. A tireless builder, it has also played a major role in our country's past. In fact, no animal has marked our history as much as the valiant beaver, whose fur has fueled the socio-economic development of modern Canada.For these and other reasons, the beaver occupies a place of honor in our hearts and on this piece.

Did you know?
The Castor canadensis became an official symbol of Canadian sovereignty on March 24, 1975.
Beavers are found throughout Canada, in every province and territory.
At the height of the Canadian fur trade, some 100,000 beaver pelts were shipped to Europe every year. The animal was already at risk of extinction when the fashion for beaver hats ran out of steam in the 19th century. In the late 1930s, environmentalist Grey Owl raised public awareness of the precarious situation of this iconic Canadian species, which has since recovered.
