Symbols Of Canada

These symbols and items represent the culture of Canada— protectionism of that culture, identity, values, nationalism, and the heritage of its inhabitants. Themes and symbols of nature, pioneers, trappers, and traders played an important part in the early development of Canadian symbolism.
