We see the maple leaf wherever we go, it's the most famous emblem of our nation. But this symbol doesn't just represent the history of Canada—it also represents you and your unique Canadian experience. The maple leaf, and even Canada itself, can mean something different to every Canadian: it can evoke a sense of belonging, of achievements both personal and shared; it can symbolize diversity, and the values that inspire us to create a brighter future for all.
So, what does this maple leaf mean to you? Our second 2022 Moments to Hold coin takes a different approach to storytelling and commemoration. Its design invites you to be the storyteller, to reflect on what Canada means to you, and to share the memories that are associated with the maple leaf, for they are your moments to hold.
