For many, the maple leaf was a shared symbol of pride, courage and loyalty. The Maple Leaf was made the official flag of Canada and raised on Parliament Hill on February 15, 1965. Only the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a more recognized symbol of Canada, according to a 2013 Statistics Canada Survey.
“Our Forests – Continually Giving” is an appropriate theme for 2021 National Forest Week. September day is Canada’s National Tree Day or Maple Leaf Day. National Forest Week is the week around Maple Leaf Day, the third Wednesday of September.
