Note(s)
  • Did you know that "Canada" comes from the Huron-Iroquois word "Kanata," meaning "village"? How much do you know about the provincial and territorial symbols from the Puffin in Newfoundland to the Yukon Tartan? The revised edition of Symbols of Canada includes new symbols and shares the story of our nation, people, environment and history through our symbols. The people and history which characterize Canada are as diverse as the majestic land itself. While our symbols celebrate our differences, they also unite all Canadians in unity and pride. All symbols are displayed in full colour with explanations regarding their meaning and origin. Some of the national, provincial, and territorial symbols displayed include: National flag, anthems, sports medals, coins, stamps, animals, Provincial and Territorial origin of name, history, coat of arms, motto, flag, floral emblem and other symbols (tartan, tree, bird and others). In addition, Symbols of Canada also features sections detailing Canada and the Crown, the Commonwealth, la Francophonie, Historical Flags and Historical Boundaries. Symbols of Canada is an ideal resource or teaching tool and comes complete with a 61 cm x 80 cm full-colour wall poster, activity suggestions and planning sheets. Fascinating information and a colourful, fun-to-read-format create an educational publication which inspires pride in Canadians both young and old.
