Telling the Story of 150 Years of Faith in Canada

Why celebrate?

What we choose to celebrate indicates what we feel is important.
On the occasion of Canada’s 150 anniversary, Canadians everywhere celebrated what makes our country feel like home. We celebrated the cornerstone of many people’s daily lives — their faith.

2017 Highlights

Cardus developed a number of initiatives, designed to engage Canadians and their institutions in a rich and robust conversation on faith in our common life.
