Representing Canada through meaningful visual content is a key aspect of the Bank ’ s formal bank note design principles . The artwork by Ashevak , the arrow sash pattern and the portrait of Senator James Gladstone — who represents the role of Indigenous peoples in government — allow the Canada 150 bank note to represent First Nations , Inuit and Métis peoples . The note also depicts Sir John A . Macdonald , Sir George-Étienne Cartier and Agnes Macphail , three parliamentarians who ’ ve made significant contributions to Canada ’ s political history .
In addition , the note incorporates symbols of Canadians ’ military service , including a vignette of the Hall of Honour , the central corridor of the Centre Block , and the Memorial Chamber Arch of the Peace Tower , both on Parliament Hill . Today , the Hall of Honour is decorated with various plaques commemorating the original Parliament building ( destroyed by fire in 1916 ), Confederation and the First World War . The Memorial Chamber was dedicated in 1927 to all Canadians who died in military service during the First World War . It has since come to honour all Canadian men and women who gave their lives in service to their country .
The Canada 150 note began circulating on June 1 . In all , 40 million commemorative notes will be distributed through Canada ’ s financial institutions . To get one , simply visit your local bank or credit union . Most of them will have a limited supply of these special notes to distribute over the counter . This is only the fourth commemorative note issued by the Bank of Canada in its 82-year history .
