THE SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATING 150 YEARS OF CANADIAN BEAUTY Canada is known for its beautiful lands and friendly people, but this year, Canada is cel- ebrating 150 years of these wonderful attributes that make it such a great place to visit. The significance of the years gone by actually represent the 150 years of Canada as a Confederation. The original term “federation” is more accurate, but Confederation caught on nonetheless. The Canadian Confederation is the term used to describe the union between the British colonies of Canada with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. On July 1, 1867, these areas became known as one under the Dominion of Canada. This entire year is about cele- brating the 150 th birthday of the unity of the lands, but the love of Canada spreads over timeless travels. You can continue the celebration with Canada by planning your next trip to our northern ne ighbor, and see what amazing wonders she has to offer. al Park n o i t a N f Banf
