 Thousands of years ago, Canada's aboriginal people cherished the maple for its wonderous delicacy that hailed the warming days of Spring.
Centuries later, the Europeans treasured the maple for its wood that enabled them to build their homes and find comfort in the warmth of its flame.
Today, the challenges may have changed, but the maple's message remains the same. It is a beacon for Canada's newest generation of immigrants, inspiring them to believe in their dreams - that hope can be found in the shade of the maple tree.
