What does the Canada 150 logo represent?
The logo is composed of a series of diamonds, or
“celebratory gems”, arranged in the shape of the iconic maple leaf. The four
diamonds at the base represent the four original provinces that formed
Confederation in 1867: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Additional diamonds extend out from the base to create nine more points—in
total representing the 13 provinces and territories.
The Canada 150 logo was created by Ariana Cuvin from
Toronto, Ontario. Ariana’s design was
chosen from a field of over 300 eligible entries in a nation-wide competition. By participating in this contest, young
Canadians had the opportunity to participate and contribute in an original way
to this important milestone in Canadian history.
