National Emblem

The maple leaf has been associated with Canada for some time: in 1868, it figured in coats of arms granted to Ontario and Quebec; and in both world wars, it appeared on regimental badges. Since the 1965 introduction of the Canadian flag, the maple leaf has become the country's most important symbol.

Canada's National Emblem is the maple leaf, featured predominately in the Canadian Flag. No one single person can be credited with the design of the maple leaf flag. Indeed, the design arose based on a strong sense of Canadian history and a result of a collaborative effort.

The design is traditional, with the shield displaying the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland and France to symbolize the nation's founding races. Underneath the 4 quarters, on a white field, is a sprig of 3 maple leaves to indicate the new nation of many peoples. Originally green, in 1957 the leaves officially became red, a common autumnal colour, and thus were in accord with Canada's national colours, red and white. The crest and the shield's supporters are strikingly similar to the royal arms of Great Britain. The motto A MARI USQUE AD MARE ("From sea to sea") is from Psalm 72:8, "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth" (King James version).
