A lot of Canadian symbols come to mind right away, like the Maple Leaf flag or our national anthem.

But there are Indigenous symbols that go back beyond memory and are still in use today. Quebec has its own unique symbols, and there’s a story behind the flag of every province and territory.

Try a game that tests what you know about Canada’s coat of arms and discover the story of bravery and tragedy during the 1916 fire on Parliament Hill.
