the maple leaf finally became the central national symbol with the introduction of the canadian flag (suggested by george f. g. stanley and sponsored by m.p. john matheson) in 1965, which uses a highly stylized eleven-pointed maple leaf, referring to no specific species of maple. earlier official uses of a maple leaf design often used more than 30 points and a short stem. the one chosen is a generic maple leaf representing the ten species of maple tree native to canada—at least one of these species grows natively in every province. the maple leaf is currently used on the canadian flag, logos of various canadian-based companies (including canadian subsidiaries of foreign companies and small businesses with only local operations) and the logos of canadian sports teams. examples include air canada, mcdonald's canada, general motors canada, the toronto maple leafs and winnipeg jets nhl franchises, the toronto fc soccer club, and wendy's canada (using the maple leaf in place of the normal apostrophe found at u.s. locations). it is also used by the federal government as a personification and identifier on its websites, as part of the government's wordmark.
