O Canada
Calixa Lavallée, Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier & Robert Stanley Weir
1880
The original music was written in 1880 by Calixa Lavallée with lyrics by ‘poet and judge’ Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. In 1908 Robert Stanley Weir rewrote the English lyrics and the anthem was formerly adopted in 1980. While the English version has been revised three times, the original French lyrics remain unaltered.

Motto:
A Mari Usque Ad Mare (From Sea to Sea)
Emblem:
Beaver
The maple leaf has been in use since 1806 and British and French Canadians have claimed ownership of it ever since. But it’s the beaver that is used in all manner of state and military flags and standards and was made the official emblem in 1975. The Canadian government has still not given the leaf an official role, however in 2011 in did make Maple Leaf Tartan the country’s official tartan.

Sport:
Ice Hockey, Lacrosse
In 1994 the Canadian government made Ice Hockey the national winter sport and lacrosse the national summer sport. Early records show a version of ice hockey being played on frozen rivers in England as early as the 1700s, but it’s Canadian James Creighton who’s credited with inventing the modern game in 1872. Lacrosse was invented by the native Algonquian tribe and called ‘stickball’. The game caught on with other tribes and spread across North America.
