"Feuille d'érable - p4g - Maple Leaf" by
François Brisse : Logo of the
Canadian National Committee for Crystallography (CNCC)
On the suggestion of Professor T. Stanley Cameron of Dalhousie
University, the CNCC has based its logo on a crystallographic artwork produced
by François Brisse
(then, as now, of the Department of Chemistry at the University of
Montreal). This motif was also originally used for
the 1981 IUCr 12th Congress in
Ottawa. It was the (unintended) financial profit from this 1981 Congress
that laid the foundation for the Larry Calvert
Fund.
A version of this image was also published in "La Symétrie Bidimensionelle et
le Canada", by François Brisse,
Canadian Mineralogist, Vol. 19, pp. 217-224 (1981)
as the figure titled: "Feuille d'érable - p4g - Maple Leaf". The entire article is reprinted below

Canadian National Flag
The current Canadian flag was officially
inaugurated on February 15, 1965,
replacing the "Red Ensign" flag of Canada in use at that time.
The "design was submitted
by former Ontario Liberal MP John Matheson and
was crafted by Dr. George Stanley,
dean of arts at Royal Military College in Kingston [Ontario]."
Alan Beddoe, a retired naval captain and heraldic adviser to the Royal
Canadian Navy, and Colonel Fortescue Duguid, a heraldist and historian.
Both favoured a three-leaf design and played a decisive role in the
choice of the flag. Mr. Matheson, an Ontario Member of Parliament, was
perhaps one of the strongest supporters of a new flag and played a key
advisory role. Dr. Stanley, Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College
in Kingston, brought to the attention of the committee the fact that the
Commandant's flag at the College - a maple leaf on a red and white
ground - was quite attractive.
