Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day to my friends to the north. Last year I posted some anecdotes of my time traveling in this country, living near its border, and shared a fitting tribute for this day. Long live “The Maple Leaf Forever“. Alexander Muir was inspired to write this song in 1867, the year of Canada’s confederation, by the sight of a large maple tree on his property in Toronto.
I think the flap pictured here, 508 S47, might be the only Canadian related Order of the Arrow patch. I find that hard to believe, but can’t find another one right now. This was issued for the 10th Canadian Jamboree in 2001, held on Prince Edward Island.
Another musical tribute to the Dominion of Canada is after the jump.

200-R-11 (2006 NOAC). Half of the patch has a half-Canadian flag (the RED appears in the sunlight; American flag on the other half). The contingent travelled after the Conference to Canada for an overnight stay at Niagara Falls.
