    Canada C3 CONTACT Festival Gallery – “Coast to Coast to Coast, Connecting an Ocean Nation”

    In 2017, Canada C3 was a Canada 150 Signature Project that connected Canadians from coast to coast to coast. At the centre of this project was a 150-day ship-based expedition that left Toronto on June 1st, 2017 and travelled over 25,000 kilometres along Canada’s coastline, the longest of any country in the world, arriving in Victoria on October 28th, 2017.

    Don’t forget to check out all of the exciting events Vistek is hosting during the 2018 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival.

    Four central themes shaped the Canada C3 Expedition, including: Reconciliation, the Environment, Diversity and Inclusion, and Youth Engagement. Through these lenses, this epic journey served to better connect Canadians, deepen understanding amongst/between/across diverse Canadians as they shared their stories of community, place, and culture.

    A diverse group of over 400 expedition participants, thousands of citizens living in the over 75 coastal (and mostly Indigenous) communities that Canada C3 visited over the five month journey, and millions who engaged virtually through various social media and digital learning platforms, acknowledged and learned about the real history of Canada, to discuss current challenges and opportunities, and to look ahead to building a better Canada.

    The Canada C3 Expedition enabled Canadians to gain a personal, first-hand experience of the coastal geography, the traumatic history of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis in Canada, and help shape many promising civic engagement practices for the next 150 years for all Canadians.
