Own a genuine fragment of Canadian heritage with this collectible pin, crafted from the original copper sheeting that covered the roofs of Canada’s Parliament Buildings in Ottawa from 1918 to 1996.
After sheltering the nation's capital for nearly eighty years, the copper was reclaimed and transformed by Under One Roof, a social enterprise supporting the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (OCAPDD). Every purchase directly supports meaningful employment and skill-building for individuals with diverse abilities, making this a keepsake that honours both our country’s history and its community spirit.
Because the inlay is made from authentic architectural copper exposed to decades of Canadian weather, it features a natural, oxidized patina that stands the test of time. This distinct finish is not a cosmetic application but a durable characteristic of the historic metal itself, ensuring that the piece remains a lasting tribute to the past.
Whether you're a history buff, a proud Canadian, or looking for a meaningful gift that gives back, the Historic Parliament Roof Copper Maple Leaf Collectible Pin offers a unique connection to the stories of Parliament Hill.
