The Spirit of Canada
The reverse presents a cross-country journey that ties together some of Canada’s most iconic images —particularly those that have come to define the Canadian experience, and the landscape itself. The upper portion features, the orca whale. The scene transitions smoothly to the northern coastline of the Canadian Arctic, which is represented by an inukshuk and a polar bear with cub. Beneath these are the majestic Rocky Mountains. The peaks tower over the vast boreal forest on the left, which stretches across much of Canada, and the agricultural landscape ofthe Prairie provinces on the right, where a tractor is at work in a hay field. Atlantic Canada is represented by a Nova Scotian/New Brunswic k Herring Seiner, which slightly overlaps the stirring image of a raised Canadian flag blowing in the wind. Finally, the nation’s northern climate is represented by the heartwarming image of two youths playing Canada’s beloved winter sport: hockey.
