History, Community, and Design
These lapel pins items were crafted with the help of people with developmental disabilities and are manufactured using the original copper which covered the roofs of Canada's Parliament Buildings from 1918 to 1996. These small pieces of our history belong to all of us. A small but meaningful gift for family and friends. Made with attention to detail, by those that care.
History
The copper used for the maple leaf is the original copper which covered the roofs of Canada's Parliament Buildings for over 80 years! The original copper roof turned a pale green colour due to oxidization over time.
Please note that the copper in this product may contain irregularities due to natural weathering. These are authentic markings contributing to the product's heritage value.
