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.
The reclaimed copper inlay is naturally oxidized from decades of exposure to the elements, meaning the finish is not applied but earned through history. Securely mounted within a robust metal border (available in Gold or Pewter tone), the pin is constructed to withstand daily wear while preserving the integrity of the artifact it holds.
Ideal for those who appreciate understated elegance and historical significance, this pin allows you to wear a story of Canadian resilience and community support.
