— An Ontario municipality now has bragging rights after setting the record for the largest human maple leaf over the Canada Day long weekend. Nearly 4,000 people participated in forming a maple leaf in a park in Trenton, Ont., on Saturday. A representative from Guinness World Record attended the event and presented a certificate for the new record. The last record holder for the largest human maple leaf was Grouse Mountain, B.C., for 1,589 people, according to Guinness World Records’ website. Mike Eden, one of the event organizers, said he saw it as an opportunity to celebrate Canada Day and show appreciation for the military.
