All together now, tous ensemble : 'O Canada!' Order today!
They're the lyrics you hear on Canada Day, at a citizenship ceremony, or before the first puck drop at a hockey game. Sung in our two official languages, English and French, "O Canada" is an invitation for every Canadian to add their voice to a musical expression of pride! This anthem-themed collectible commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first Official Languages Act, which gave equal status to Englishand French in Canada two languages thatrepresent more than 300 years of shared history.Its design features two maple leaves one for each official language and both clad in red against laser-engraved leaves that pull you into the celebration and represent a surge of pride.But the beauty of this piece lies in the little details, almost invisible to the eye! Take a closer look at the text along the design's rim: you'll find the bilingual lyrics of "O Canada", presented in the two languages that play a big part in defining who we are.
We're marking the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act with a bilingual celebration of "O Canada!
