In celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary, this project offers a large variety of historical experiences focused on Canadian history and culture to diverse community organizations and groups. The topics presented create a wide ranging image of Canadian history that will enable participants of all ages and backgrounds to explore the development of our nation’s identity, which will be of great interest and significance for newcomers, youth, seniors, and all interested in learning more about Canada’s diversity and unique history.

The programs, tours, and activities are highly adaptable and customizable to suit your group’s interests and abilities and there are program options that can travel to your venue and others that take place at the Diefenbaker Canada Centre (DCC). Programs can be anywhere from an hour to a full day, and multiple options can be combined, for small or larger groups. We have hosted many groups with intellectual disabilities and are eager to tailor our programming to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for your group.
