The maple leaf on the Canadian flag represents the nature and environment of Canada.
The maple leaf is actually a sugar maple leaf, which turns red in autumn/fall.
The number of points on the leaf has no significance. The Canadians wanted to replace the British flag quickly when they became independent, so they came up with the (autumn) red maple leaf to represent the nature of Canada.
