A colour-shifting eagle feather, which changes from gold to green. Detailed metallic images in and around the large transparent windowthe Library of Parliaments vaulted dome ceiling, maple leaves, and Canadas flag and coat of arms.

More than 70 years later, we honour her as the first Canadian woman to appear on a bank note, and hope her story inspires the next generation of Canadians to follow in her footsteps. Desmond, a successful Nova Scotia businesswoman, defiantly refused to leave a whites-only area of a movie theatre in 1946. Her court case was an inspiration for the pursuit of racial equality across Canada. A map of the historic North End of Halifax, where she lived and worked, is also shown on the note. The back of the note carries Desmonds legacy into the present with several images and symbols. These include the CMHR, the first museum in the world dedicated solely to the evolution, celebration and future of human rights. Its criss-crossing ramps symbolize the history of human rights in Canada and the worlda history of setbacks and contradictions, but built on strength and hope. QUALITY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
