the G7. The pine tree stands before Mount Kidd, a prominent landmark

The lodgepole pine is the official tree of the province of Alberta and
one of the most common tree species in the Kananaskis Valley. First
Nations peoples used it to build lodges and teepees, which gave way to
the name “lodgepole.” The bark was used as a food and fuel source and
the pine needles were brewed into tea as a traditional remedy high in
Vitamin C.
The lodgepole pine is known as a pioneer species and is one of the
first to regenerate after a disaster such as a forest fire. It
represents renewal and resiliency, making it a fitting symbol for
Canada’s G7 Presidency. "
