The Canadian Centennial was a yearlong celebration held in 1967 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. Celebrations in Canada occurred throughout the year but culminated on Dominion Day, July 1, 1967. Commemorative coins were minted, that were different from typical issues with animals on each — the cent, for instance, had a dove on its reverse. Communities and organizations across Canada were encouraged to engage in Centennial projects to celebrate the anniversary. The projects ranged from special one-time events to local improvement projects, such as the construction of municipal arenas and parks. The Centennial Flame was also added to Parliament Hill. Children born in 1967 were declared Centennial babies.

  • Le Centenaire du Canada célèbre en 1967 le 100e anniversaire de la création de la Confédération canadienne, et par le même fait des états fédérés du Québec, de l'Ontario, de la Nouvelle-Écosse et du Nouveau-Brunswick. Les festivités débutent le 1er janvier 1967, avec l'allumage de la Flamme du centenaire, et culminent le 1er juillet 1967, lors de la Fête du Canada. Les festivités ont été coordonnées par la Commission canadienne du Centenaire, créée en janvier 1963 sous la responsabilité de Judy LaMarsh, secrétaire d'État du Canada. Le commissaire était John Fisher. (fr)
