 A Blessing for Long Life
Like the strong backed tortoise with its steady, relaxed gait, the Chinese cherish harmony and the longevity it brings. Indeed, the tortoise's long life span makes it the perfect animal to symbolize that cherished state.
Longevity, a blessing and wealth beyond compare. It is the greatest wish one can hope for another.
In Canada, where multitudes live in harmony, the promise of longevity rings true in the shade of the maple tree. Just as the mapole leaf inspired Europeans centuries ago, it remains a beacon for Canada's newest generation of immigrants.
