What's New??The New 2001 Canadian $10 NoteCanadian JourneyThe new $10 note is the first in a
new series of bank notes called Canadian Journey. The new notes feature themes
that celebrate Canada's history, culture, and achievements. The portrait on the
front of the $10 note is of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister
and one of the Fathers of Confederation. He held office from 1867 to 1873 and
from 1878 to 1891. Remembrance and PeacekeepingThe subject on the back of the $10 note is a tribute to Remembrance Day and Peacekeeping. A veteran and two young people observe a Remembrance Day service as members of the Land and Naval Forces stand vigil. A member of the Armed Forces in a peacekeeping role complements the scene. The first verse of John McCrae's poem In Flanders Fields is featured together with doves and a wreath of poppies, which symbolize peace and commemoration.
