Tradition is timeless. Here in the ARA Canadian Heritage Collection, our roots whisper to us, in colours that are as stirring as they are graceful, as familiar as family, as comforting as childhood friends and memories. They paint pictures of our lakes, mountains, tall pines and rugged ocean shorelines. Of red sumacs and sugar maples, the deep blue of snow shadows, and the palest yellow-pinks and purples of our skies.

They echo a quieter time of cobblestones and church bells, tea in English rose china, taken in sunlit parlours painted robin’s egg blue and lime cordial. laying checkers on thick, patterned rugs in libraries of warm gold, taupe and cherrywood. A neighbourhood game of street hockey played on a fresh blanket of crisp, white snow. These colours create rooms where children have always played, families have always shared hot soup and crusty bread, friends have always gathered to celebrate around crackling fires. These are forever the colours of Canada – of home
