Canada’s national motto, “A Mari Usque Ad Mare,” means “From sea to sea.” Officially adopted in 1921, it reflects the country’s vast geography and national unity - stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific.

The phrase highlights the pride Canadians take in their expansive land and diverse regions. It appears on Canada’s coat of arms and is a strong symbol of national identity.

This motto is often featured in Canadian Citizenship Test preparation, especially when learning about national symbols and what they represent in the story of Canada.
