The new polymer Canadian 10 dollar note is the first vertical banknote of the Canadian dollar. Bank of Canada will use vertical design for the next four notes in the series The note is predominantly purple coloured and is printed on polymer. The banknote was designed by Dowling Duncan firm. It entered in circulation in 19 November, 2018.

The obverse features a portrait of Viola Desmond, a Black Nova Scotian businesswoman and civil rights advocate who challenged racial segregation at a film theatre in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, in 1946. It is the first time a Canadian woman has appeared on a Canadian banknote. The background of the portrait is a colourful rendition of the street grid of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
