Canada's Olympic Oak... missing in action...

In the Berlin Olympics of 1936, the gold medalists were given a seedling oak tree as a "gift from the German people." Canada won one medal that year, from Ottawa paddler Frank Amyot, who then donated the gift oak seedling to the City of Ottawa. After the ceremony, the oak went missing, and is now being searched for. The Vancouver Sun put together an interesting story about this missing seedling, and Canada's connection to a strange chapter of Olympic history.
