Flags aren’t the only way to show national pride this Canada Day. We want to hear about your other prized Canadian possessions.Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian Press
Canada Day is fast approaching, and many Canadians are getting ready to fly their maple leaf flags high ahead of July 1.
But national pride comes in all shapes and sizes, and we want to know about your most Canadian possessions that have you feeling patriotic, no flagpole required.
Perhaps it is a family heirloom passed down for generations, a piece of Canadiana you found at a yard sale, or a keepsake that reminds you of home when you’re far away? Maybe it screams “Canada!” or defines this country’s spirit in a more understated fashion?
Tell us about your item, when and where you got it, and what it means to you in the form below, or by sending an e-mail (and a picture) to [email protected] with “Canadian possession” in the subject line.
Your item and response may be included in an upcoming Globe and Mail story about patriotic possessions on Canada Day, and we’ll reach out if we plan to feature you or need more information.
