5 Introduction Welcome to the conversation In 2017, Canada will celebrate the 150 th anniversary of Confederation. Across the country, organizations and communities have started planning how to celebrate this major national milestone. To incubate and inspire ideas for celebrations, CBC/Radio-Canada, VIA Rail Canada and Community Foundations of Canada have joined forces to launch 2017 Starts Now. This initiative is connecting Canadians and building momentum for 2017 from the ground up. Through 2017 Starts Now, a series of conversations are taking place at events, kitchen tables and boardrooms across the country. Canadians are getting together to look back at our rich history, reflect on the changes and challenges ahead, and explore ways to define ourselves in 2017 and beyond. This kit will help you join the conversation. Work through this guide with your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. Your efforts will help bring 2017 celebrations to life. 5

12 The 1967 Centennial captivated the attention and imagination of all Canadians. The legacy lives on. 12
13 Looking back The 1967 Centennial The 100 th anniversary of Confederation in 1967 was a momentous occasion. Celebrations ignited enthusiasm among all Canadians. Its memory is alive and well for millions of people. The 1967 Centennial was a success because Canadians in all corners of the country found unique ways to celebrate. Communities organized local events, municipalities developed parks and arenas, and neighborhoods got together to learn more about our national history. From big to small, Centennial celebrations connected Canadians. As we look ahead to 2017, the Centennial demonstrates what is possible.

14 A Lasting Legacy Communities across the country found distinct ways to commemorate Canada s Centennial. The legacy of these projects lives on to this day. THE CENTENNIAL SONG CONFEDERATION TRAIN CENTENNIAL FLAME CANADIAN RAILROAD TRILOGY Bobby Gimby s CA-NA-DA song was the most popular single in Millions of Canadians boarded this train as it traveled across the country. This monument was installed on Parliament Hill. Gordon Lightfoot created a tribute song to kickstart the year. CARIBANA FESTIVAL VOYAGEUR CANOE PAGEANT EXPO 67 CHALLENGE FOR CHANGE In Toronto, Caribana was launched to celebrate Caribbean culture. Ten teams canoed from the Rockies to Montreal. The Universal Exposition took place in Montreal. 140 films were produced through this National Film Board project. 14

17 Canada is a country rich in history, culture and diversity. A lot has happened in 150 years. We continue to transform. 17
18 Exploring our country A snapshot of Canada Canada is a rich and dynamic country that is home to more than 34 million people. We ve got a lot to be proud of. Canada is the second largest country in the world. Our country has vast geography, diverse cultures and vibrant communities unlike any other nation. Since Confederation in 1867, Canada has seen a world of change. Today, we re part of a global community that is connected by technology and travel. Our provinces and territories continue to transform to reflect the evolving face of our citizens. Our country is home to a diverse spectrum of citizens. Today, more than 20 per cent of people living in Canada were born outside the country - a proportion we ve not seen in almost a century. Conversely, more than one million Canadians call another country home. These are some of the factors that influence our country and our communities. As we look ahead to Canada s 150 th anniversary, it s important to reflect on the Canadian experience and what it means to be Canadian. 18

23 Celebrating 2017 Ideas for events and celebrations When it comes to celebrating Canada s150 th anniversary, the sky is the limit. As Centennial celebrations showed us, initiatives can range in scope, time and intensity. Celebrations could include awards and recognition programs to honour Canadians accomplishments. They could involve new events, festivals or parades. These could be one-time occasions or the start of an annual tradition. Canada s 150 th anniversary could also take the shape of a monument, park or other lasting piece of community infrastructure. The possibilities are endless. As we brainstorm ideas for 2017, think of what would motivate, excite and inspire your organization, neighbourhood and family. The 2017 logo, imagination150 23
