A perpetual, ephemeral Cherry blossom; Flower of Japan (and symbol of the relationship established between our city, Toronto and Japanese-Canadian refugees after WW2) that represent Hope, Renewal and the fleeting nature of life. The short blooming season reminds us to appreciate every moment. Difficult weather abruptly shortens the viewing season (Sakura Hanami), but heightens appreciation of fewer days with the bejeweled branches.
