Welcome to our newest forum! In anticipation of our upcoming book, 100 Days That Changed Canada, we're using this space to discuss what days we think changed Canada. As mentioned in the Oct/Nov Teaching Canada's History newsletter, teachers who participate before October 14, will be eligible to win a class set of the Oct/Nov issue of Canada's History magazine.

To get things started, I'll pick a date that I think changed Canada. That date is April 27, 1967, when Expo '67 officially opened. Although the world fair was not technically part of Canada's centennial celebrations, Canadians were certainly in party mode during Expo. 50 million people attended the fair and an entire generation of Canadians remember Expo '67 as a time of great celebration and hope for the future. Expo '67 contributed to Canada's reputation internationally as a thriving and leading country and, more importantly, it helped us forge our own national identiy and sense of unity.

Now it's your turn. Tell us what day you think changed Canada and you will be eligible to win a class set of the Oct/Nov issue of Canada's History magazine!
