Comment

Around the world, the sight of the maple leaf immediately conjures up images of Canada. For centuries, its image has been associated with everything that comes from here, but historians agree that its adoption as an official emblem dates back to 1836. Settlers from Europe had the fleur-de-lis (France), rose (England), thistle (Scotland) and shamrock (Ireland). With the maple leaf, a new symbol of national pride now unites immigrants and native-born Canadians.

Throughout the 19th century, the maple leaf spread everywhere: it appeared in books, newspapers and songs; provincial flags and coats of arms seemed incomplete without it. Omnipresent on Canadian currency from 1876 to 1901, in 1937 it became the motif of the familiar one-cent coin. Automatically translated

Dans le monde entier, la vue de la feuille d’érable évoque aussitôt le Canada. Depuis des siècles, on accole volontiers son image à tout ce qui vient de chez nous, mais les historiens s’entendent pour fixer à 1836 son adoption comme emblème officiel. Les colons venus d’Europe avaient la fleur de lis (France), la rose (Angleterre), le chardon (Écosse) et le trèfle (Irlande). Avec la feuille d’érable, un nouveau symbole de fierté nationale rallie désormais immigrants et Canadiens de naissance.

Au long du 19e siècle, la feuille d’érable se répand partout : on la voit dans les livres, les journaux, les chansons; les drapeaux et les blasons des provinces paraissent incomplets sans elle. Omniprésente sur la monnaie canadienne de 1876 à 1901, elle devient en 1937 le motif de la pièce de un cent que nous connaissons bien.
