Ariana ’ s description of her design
The maple leaf is the nation ’ s most iconic symbol , and I used subtle design choices to represent Canada and its Confederation . The base of the leaf is made up of four diamonds
( diamonds are celebratory gems ), with nine more expanding outwards from them , meant to represent the four provinces that formed Canada after Confederation in 1867 , eventually growing to the 13 provinces and territories . The repeated shape is meant to create a sense of unity and the 13 shapes forming the leaf represents our togetherness as a country . In the coloured iterations , the centre four diamonds are similar in colour . From left to right , similar colours are used in a row to show the provinces and territories that joined Canada in the same year . The multi-coloured iteration gives a feeling of diversity while the red one shows pride and unity .
