Comment
How can we remain indifferent to the Canadian flag, especially when children wave it in the wind? It becomes a torch of hope and freedom to be passed on to future generations, a testament to the pride and affection our homeland inspires. Hope and faith in the future shine on this inspiring fine silver coin. It's a lasting memento that captures the spirit and ideals of Canada.Photographer Aoifa Anctil was driving near Sherwood Park, Alberta, when she spotted an old barn. "Light is ephemeral: you have to seize the opportunity when it presents itself. As I got out of the car, my kids started running with the Canadian flag. It was a perfect scene."
Did you know?
Historically speaking, the Canadian flag is quite young: only 54 years old. Those born after 1965 may see it as a timeless figure, but earlier generations will remember the Red Ensign that preceded it.
People who study flags are called "vexillologists". Many consider the Canadian flag to be one of the most beautiful in the world, thanks to its simple yet bold combination of shapes and colors. It is the only national flag in the world to feature a maple leaf.
There are five flags on Parliament Hill: one atop the Peace Tower, two on the Centre Block, and one on each of the East and West Blocks. All Canadian residents can request a flag that has flown on Parliament Hill by contacting Public Services and Supply Canada.
Every weekday, the flagpole officer replaces the flag on the Peace Tower. The others are changed weekly. Changing the flag on the Peace Tower takes about 30 minutes: the flagpole officer takes the elevator to the observation deck, then climbs another 33 metres of steps and ladder to reach the flagpole. He ensures that the flag never touches the ground.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.
