About the MLF logo: The logo for the Manitoba Law Foundation is based on the prairie crocus, Manitoba’s provincial flower. This stylized version incorporates the initials of the Foundation, forming the stem and petals. This resilient plant is one of the first to emerge in Manitoba, after surviving the harshest winter conditions. The crocus is a sign of hope for warmer, brighter days ahead. The crocus stems, buds, and leaves grow low and close together for protection from the wind. This natural element was chosen as a contrast to the traditional and often colonial symbols of law used in the past.
