Theme: Canada’s gift from Holland – and a
welcomed Spring visitor. Every Spring,
tulips from Holland bloom in Canada’s
capital, which is the home of the world’s
largest tulip festival. Not only are the
flowers a telltale sign of spring, they are the
symbol of friendship between nations. In
1945-46, Holland presented over 100,000
prized tulip bulbs to Canada in thanks for
Canada welcoming Holland’s Crown
Princess and her daughters in 1940, and
for Canadian soldiers’ efforts to liberate
Holland during the Second World War.
