Canadian Maple Leaf  Forever- A treasured national symbol.

2011 Canada Maple Leaf Forever

The distinctive shape of the red maple leaf immediately says, “Canada” to people around the world. Its use as a symbol for all that is Canadian dates back centuries, but historians generally recognize 1836 as the year when the maple leaf earned its status as an official national emblem.
