Celebrating Canada’s 150th

Looking forward to another 150 Years of progress

The Green Party of Canada is excited to celebrate with you and our fellow Canadians in this beautiful country’s achievements, marking the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Canadians have so much to be proud of, be it our universal health care, our cultural diversity, or our contributions to the worlds of science, sports, and the arts.

We’re honoured to share in the company of legendary Canadian figures, who have left their mark on our society through their determination, vision and strength. Our collective consciousness has been elevated by the legacies of diverse Canadian icons including Terry Fox, Margaret Atwood, David Suzuki, Sylvia Maracle, Tommy Douglas, Emily Carr, Gord Downie and countless others.

For this monumental year, it’s important to recognize that Confederation doesn’t mark the beginning of human history on this land we call home. Indigenous peoples have been inhabiting Canada for many thousands of years. We’re grateful for the stewardship they provide, and their many cultural contributions. We also recognize how much more work we have left to do to repair relationships with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and share this great land harmoniously.

We look forward to the next 150 years, where we envision a Canada that truly honours and respects the Indigenous peoples of this land, while continuing to harness the rich diversity, ingenuity and spirit of the multitude of cultures which shape Canada today.


We can’t wait to ​get started on Canada’s next 150 years.

As we enter the next 150 years, here’s a snapshot of the future we’ll be fighting for.

A Greener Future

Canada has the potential to be a global leader in tackling climate change, while adapting to the daunting challenges before us. Greens have been thinking long and hard about this, and have the plans in place for Canada to transition to a carbon-free economy.

Good Government

Greens are adamant about an electoral system of proportional representation, so that everyone’s voice is heard. We envision a future of collaboration with Indigenous peoples and all levels of government, to achieve progress within a culture of mutual respect.

A Fairer Society

We live in a society with an unacceptable number of people living in poverty, experiencing homelessness, and facing gender-based discrimination. Greens are committed to addressing these issues through concrete action.
