London Celebrates Canada - Executive Summary
London Celebrates Canada is a non profit; non partisan community organization dedicated to the understanding and celebration of Canada's proud history and richly diversified culture. This patriotic vision builds momentum for the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Canada's confederation by engaging the community through educational programs, activities, events, exhibitions and premier Canada Day celebrations that instils pride and commitment to Canada on both an individual and community level.
Having received encouragement and standing from City of London Council on 31 August 2009, with nine founding members, then-titled Celebrate Canada (London Committee) held its inaugural meeting 24 September 2009, renamed London Celebrates Canada on 25 March 2010, and then incorporated 8 April 2010.
The volunteer Board of Directors include proud citizens with skills, influence or experience essential to the success of the organization. The Board meets at lunch-time, the fourth Thursday each month in the Library of the Wolseley Barracks Officers' Mess. Unless deemed in-camera for reasons disclosed, all meetings are open to the public.
Since incorporation, London Celebrates Canada has held annual well-attended free-admission municipal-level Canada Day celebrations, a multi-cultural forum and other community-input meetings, and numerous activities designed to promote nationalism and engage the public.
For 2012, in addition to its third Canada Day celebration, London Celebrates Canada presents a free-admission outdoor concert to recognize Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee and a speaker series to commemorate the bi-centennial anniversary of the War of 1812... a defining period in Canadian history.
Plans for 2017, Canada's sesquicentennial anniversary of confederation are comprehensive for the City of London and intended to fuel pride and maximize participation from citizens, commerce and all levels of government. This is your country, city, community and events.
