Canadian five-dollar note
The Canadian five-dollar note is the lowest denomination and one of the most common banknotes of the Canadian dollar.
As with all modern Canadian banknotes, all text is in both English and French .
The most recent Canadian five-dollar note, part of the Frontier series, is predominantly blue and was introduced 7 November 2013, using the same technology found in the other notes of that series. The bill features a portrait of Canada's seventh prime minister, Wilfrid Laurier, and a hologram of the Mackenzie Tower from the West Block on Parliament Hill on the front; the back features an astronaut working with Dextre attached to the Canadarm2.
This note features raised, textured printing as well as a special tactile feature (similar to Braille dots) to assist the blind in identifying the denomination. Security features include "Bank of Canada" and "Banque du Canada" visible only under ultraviolet light, and yellow dots representing the EURion constellation on the reverse side.
On December 16, 2024, the Bank of Canada announced that famed Canadian athlete and cancer research advocate Terry Fox will be the new face of the bill.
The front of the previous note, from the Canadian Journey series, also features Wilfrid Laurier, the coat of arms, and a picture of the West Block of the Parliament buildings, but in a different layout from the Frontier series note. The reverse side depicts children engaged in winter sports, including sledding, ice skating, and hockey; this is accompanied by a quotation from Roch Carrier's short story, "The Hockey Sweater":
Les hivers de mon enfance étaient des saisons longues, longues. Nous vivions en trois lieux: l'école, l'église et la patinoire; mais la vraie vie était sur la patinoire.
The winters of my childhood were long, long seasons. We lived in three places—the school, the church and the skating rink—but our real life was on the skating rink.
