This year, starting from the 1st January, Canada is celebrating it’s 150th birthday.
Following several constitutional conferences, in 1867, 150 years ago, at the Charlottetown and Québec Conferences, the Fathers of Confederation worked on a visionary project—to create a lasting democracy — which today serves as a model for the world.
Many important people, milestones, cultural and political events have shaped Canada’s history and helped it grow into a Canada that is a strong model, proud of its identity, diversity, innovation, and natural beauty; and that is a free, open, diverse and pluralistic society.
The 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation is a time for Canadians to celebrate their history, stories, accomplishments, innovations, and the collective values that continue to shape the country.
