The country is gearing up for their 150th birthday and signs of that are popping up everywhere. At the grocery store where I work, there are flags and balloons at every till. At the other grocery store, the Coke guy stacked boxes of canned drinks (from a diagram) to the ceiling at the front of the store with the classic red and white boxes and the "150" embedded with the black boxes of Coke Zero. Pretty impressive.
Here's a couple of photos of other such things:
Quote:
On Thursday, 112 RCMP officers posed shoulder-to-shoulder on Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver for an iconic photo in celebration of the 150th anniversary of confederation Thursday.
The officers volunteered from detachments all over the Lower Mainland, and dressed in their traditional red serge that matched a Canadian flag they unfurled below the famous swinging suspension bridge.
