The Maple Leaf is a Canadian symbol for a reason. There are several varieties of this beautiful tree-the sugar maple as the sap is used to make our wonderful Maple Syrup. The wood is used in a variety of furniture and woodworking activities. In the Fall the maple trees are vibrant with the range of colours. In a forest or woodlot, they stand out in all their glory. Children collect the leaves for school projects as well as adults often pick one up and put in a favourite book to dry and press. On our flag it stands out! Even an old Canadian song- The Maple Leaf Forever- can still be heard!
