Why is a polar bear used as a logo for the Learning Centres in Canada?
Different Teddy bears have been used as logos with the US Scottish Rite Learning Centres to emphasize the service to children and the warmth and friendliness of the Centres. In Canada, a warm, fuzzy and friendly polar bear is used as a distinctive symbol to indicate the independence of the Canadian program in the cooler part of North America while reaching out to children in need. You will note that our polar bear carries the logo of The Scottish Rite Charitable Foundation of Canada.
