After a month of deliberation on the symbols held dearest by Canadians, By George<\/em> has determined “the most beloved national symbol.”\u00a0 Through the last few days we have sought feedback from followers and had direct input from our own By George network and the remaining four top symbols have been ranked. So, here they are — in reverse order — with the last being our # 1.<\/p>\n

It gives us great pride to announce the most beloved national symbol here this morning…<\/p>\n

# 4 – The Beaver<\/p>\n
