Canada 150 celebration preparations are starting to take shape in the County.
The Canada C3 exploring vessel will be leaving the Port of Toronto on June 1, 2017, taking a 150-day cruise down the St. Lawrence River and around the Northwest Passage. Among its first stops is the Picton Harbour on June 2 and 3.
During the expedition Canada C3 aims to engage millions of Canadians from across the country.
The company website touts it as a transformative journey that will capture our hearts and imaginations and help inspire a deeper understanding, appreciation and future vision for Canada. Canada C3 will explore the four key themes of Canada 150 that represent both challenges and opportunities for Canada: Diversity and Inclusion, Reconciliation, Youth Engagement, and the Environment.
