(Canada is celebrating its 142nd anniversary of Confederation today... On June 20, 1868, a proclamation signed by the Governor General, Lord Monck, called upon all Her Majesty's loving subjects throughout Canada to join in the celebration of the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1st.)
(Congratulations to the finalist of this year's Canada Day Poster Challenge, 15 year old Allison Forseille from Saskatchewan (Saskatoon). In her words Allison describes her poster: "The cheering fans are not only welcoming the world and Olympians to Canada, but they are also cheering for the pure beauty that our country has to offer. In my poster I also depict cultural diversity in Canada by clothing the fans in the colours of other countries." Congratulations, Allison!
