Diligent • Industrious • Resourceful
The beaver, Canada’s national animal, was chosen for his relentless work ethic and industrious nature. The phrase “busy as a beaver” captures his ability to work tirelessly, driven by enthusiasm and determination. With his strong will and dedication, little can stand in his way when it comes to reaching his goals. Beaver takes great pride in creating a home that brings him comfort and satisfaction, and his remarkable building skills showcase his artistic flair. Using mud, rocks, branches, and other natural materials, he turns what’s old and discarded into something functional and beautiful. Beaver’s resourcefulness teaches us to view our environment and tools in fresh ways, finding potential in the overlooked. Generous by nature, he builds not just for himself but for the countless creatures who rely on his wetlands, ponds, and dams. If you’re seeking inspiration or motivation to begin a project, look to Beaver’s creativity and determination as your guide.
