This coin pays tribute to the enduring, engaging canoe—an ingenious creation from the past that is now a modern icon of Canada. Canoeing reconnects people with nature in ways unmatched by any other watercraft. As you paddle in silence, you are experiencing Canada the same way as the first European explorers, and countless Aboriginal people who travelled North America's vast waterways for thousands of years before.
