The government wants your opinion:
The Honourable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, today announced that young Canadians across the country now have until April 2 to enter the 2015 Canada Day Challenge.
The Canada Day Challenge is a nationwide contest that invites young Canadians to explore Canada’s history, culture and identity and to discover what makes our country so great. In order to allow more young people to take part in the Challenge, the new deadline to submit entries is now April 2, 2015.
Be original; be creative; take up the 2015 Canada Day Challenge! You can find more information at the Canada Day Challenge 2015 website, including the complete contest rules, entry forms and learning resources.
Here's my entry: What makes Canada a great country is that I can still get away with calling this a waste of time and money. What makes Canada a less great country than it used to be is that the government thinks it fit and proper to conduct such a pathetic PR exercise. If the schools are not teaching children the history, culture and identity of Canada then the schools need to be fixed.
