Canadian Identity Symbols

On my Canadian identity poster I chose 10 symbols that I feel are symbols that sumup Canada quite well. My first symbol is the LGBTQ flag because here in Canada our LGBTQ community have equal rights just like everyone else and it shows that we don`t judge people just because they like the same sex or because they just don't feel like they were born in the right body. Canada is a big supporter for those people and it helps them feel wanted and not feel like they are not welcome. My second symbol is the moose because it has always been a big symbol for Canada and when a lot of people think ”Canada” they think of some of the popular animals such as the beaver, the loon and the polar bear, but a moose is also a big one. The moose isn't just

For my fourth symbol I chose the igloo because people in other countries seem to believe that we live in igloos because it gets so cold. But obviously that's not true. Yes, it gets very cold here but we all know how to handle it and we live in heated homes ;) Just by having the people around the world believe that we live in igloos the symbol has just stuck. For my fifth symbol I have chosen the saying ”eh” because it’s a stereotype of Canada. In my opinion, I really don’t hear people say it that often and if I do hear it people are either making fun of it or the older people say it at the end of a sentence. My sixth symbol I have chosen is the inukshuk because it represents the winter olympic games that were held in Vancouver, BC in 2010. That was a big thing for Canada and still is to this day. I’m not quite sure if people around the world think of Canada when the winter olympics come up in conversation but to Canada it was a great opportunity and many memories were made with the torch coming through kamloops. Around Canada people love their beer and I know my dad is a huge fan of Molson

Canada is known for the beer and our brewery’s. Everybody loves to drink it as well as make it. For my eighth symbol I chose hockey because hockey is a main part of canadian peoples lives. We play the game for fun with friends, we watch it every Sunday night and we wait for hockey season in the summer. When people think of canada a lot of people think of our popular sports, hockey and lacrosse, and we have proved to the world that we don’t mess around. From winning gold at the olympic games to being the champion for who owns hockey. Hockey tends to be a big part of Christmas around my house because of the world juniors and even at my work we always had the radio on with the game playing. When it comes to protecting the streets you can always look up to the police but when it comes to the mountains that is out of the cops range so you call in the royal mounted police. Everyone that I know of from outside of Canada, when they talk about the people who ride horses with the big puffy pants the royal mounted police always come to
