Join the Expedition - Canada C3 | Coast to Coast to Coast

Living in the second largest country on earth, it’s rare that Canadians from the South get to connect with Canadians from the North or Canadians from the West get to connect with Canadians from the East. Canada C3 is inviting a group of Canadians on an unprecedented voyage to acknowledge Canada’s 150th anniversary of confederation. Scientists, artists, Indigenous Elders, historians, community leaders, youth, journalists and educators will all come on board to build relationships with other Canadians, connect with coastal communities and share their experiences with all of Canada. Follow the link to complete your application by March 24, 2017 for the chance to contribute to the journey of a lifetime!
