"In 2017, Canadians from coast to coast to coast will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. As part of the celebrations, our Government is helping communities improve and renew existing public spaces and facilities across the West, while celebrating our shared heritage and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations."
