Canada Day 2020

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada’s 153rd birthday will be celebrated by Canadians very differently across the country. This year more than ever, Canada Day is an important national celebration that will bring many Canadians together virtually. Multiple cities have planned livestreams for events to celebrate at home and online. FACTSnet has compiled information about these events to share with the public, because even though we may be apart physically, we can still celebrate together.

To see events in specific locations, please click on the area that you are interested in below.

Our main Canada Reset 2017 which celebrates Canada's 150th Jubilee by taking time off to:

Reflect on the Past: By creating digital archives, digitizing resources and encouraging others to do the same. These archives can be used to tell historical stories and examining changes that have taken place n our organizations or communities Reflections could be 50 (and/or 10 year snapshots), starting in 1867. Email

Evaluate the Present: By doing web reviews and searches. These reviews can be used to reflect on where our organizations and communities are now and discuss what issues they currently face and planning to address these issues for the future.

Imagine the Future: By connecting and maintain the archives (both physical and digital) so they will be available in 2067.

FACTS (Family And Community Twining Society) Reset 2017

Through our student programs and networks, we will be examining changes in Family and Community values with the view of reversing some of the current trends (see A Lost Generation video link and our Value Based Medium post).

Other Reset 2017 suggestions are being developed by our team and others, who wish to join us.
