This original design represents the traditional economies that existed before Canada and the importance of our freshwater sources. 

The Métis symbol hovers above the prairie provinces, and the feather and inukshuk show the First Nations and Inuit lands across the country.  

Beside the beaver is a maple leaf, a globally recognized symbol of Canada. It ties into the global nature of economics and trade. The loon on the far side represents leadership. With its wings spread far, the loon is showing its power. 

The ripples moving out from the design show how economic development ripples out into the world. The design incorporates dot work – a digital reflection of traditional Métis beadwork. 

Design by Ojibwe Métis artist Angie Saltman.
