You can look up the Canadian register but the "family coat of arms" that you see online isn't typically a legit thing and more often than not just a money grab.

And you can get a flag that was flown on the Peace Tower. I signed up years ago to get one and I think the wait time was 75+ years? I should have it if I live to 90 something.

Looks like I got in before the rush... wait time now is more than 100 years
