2004.This program, implemented by the Department of Canadian Heritage, allows the entire population to express its pride and sense of belonging in Canada, as well as to discover and appreciate the richness of Canadian culture and heritage.In each province and territory, a volunteer Celebrate Canada Committee has been established to promote Canadian values and to encourage the organization of activities.Celebrate Canada! activities take place from June 21 to July 1 across the country.They begin with National Aboriginal Day, on June 21, which is an opportunity for Canadians to discover the unique accomplishments of Aboriginal people and their contributions to Canadian society.Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, on June 24, highlights the culture and heritage of Francophones from all regions of Canada and allows Francophone communities to express their pride.Canadian Multiculturalism Day, on June 27, celebrates the richness of Canada’s diversity and acknowledges the tremendous contribution of the more than 200 ethnocultural communities in Canada.Finally, Canada Day, on July 1, is a special time of celebration and sharing, during which all Canadians can join together and express their pride in living in Canada.This year, Celebrate Canada! celebrates 400 years of French inhabitants in North America and the 400th anniversary of the founding of Acadia.It also commemorates the meeting of Aboriginal peoples and the first explorers, who helped shape our history and lay the foundations of modern Canadian society.* The July 1 noon-time show on Parliament Hill, organized by the Department of Canadian Heritage, will pay tribute to Acadia.A group of artists ________________ will take us on a trip through time and space and revisit important moments in the the history of Acadia and Canada.For more information on Celebrate Canada!

Backyard Break The quick and cheap Friday afternoon feast: Pick up a fresh roasted chicken, a loaf of asiago ciabatta and potato salad.Then sit on the lawn and soak up the fading sun in your backyard.Watch ants: ignore dandelions.Pig out.Another plus?Grown-ups can have a beer (or several) and don’t have to drive afterward.Evening Drama Try this time-tested pairing: First, pick up a gourmet picnic dinner for two.Then head to a park featuring an evening play.Unless you’re in a downpour, a play in the park beats rehashed reruns on TV any day.Hump Day Hamburgers Pick a Wednesday, any fine Wednesday.Stop by your favourite local burger joint for burgers and milkshakes.Then find a spot overlooking the city.Simply sit and watch the sun go down.Weekend Wind-down To do: Pick up hotdogs, buns, ketchup, lemonade, marshmallows, watermelon and firewood at your nearest grocery store.Then head to a beach with the kids for an afternoon of fun.Splash in the water on a warm day; afterward, build a fire in one of the designated fire pits and roast your weenies and marshmallows.Now that’s summer.— Can Wes [News Service Jfappy Canada t)ay!
