2017 marks the 150th anniversary of Canada.
Events are being held throughout the year — not just on Canada Day — to celebrate this sesquicentennial milestone.
Some quick facts: when the 1867 Constitution Act officially proclaimed Canadian Confederation on July 1, 1867, there were only four provinces: Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. By 1905, Canada comprised of nine provinces and two territories. Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, while Nunavut became a territory in 1999.
Today, more than 35 million people call Canada home.
Here are just a few of the red and white specs that can allow you to show off your Canadian pride throughout Canada’s 150th birthday year:
