The Design:
Canadian artist Margaret Best has created a dynamic design showcasing Canada’s cherished maple tree from an exciting and unexpected perspective—from beneath its canopy looking upwards along its trunk towards the outstretched branches above. In the foreground, two coloured leaves gently drift towards the ground to accentuate the maple’s beauty in autumn.
