 Quebec
Winter Carnival - (#624411)
The Quebec Winter Carnival is the biggest
winter celebration in the world! Bonhomme, the Carnival’s mascot, waves
from the surface of this inaugural coin. Behind him stands Quebec City’s
internationally recognized landmark, the Château Frontenac, that dominates
the landscape of this historic city.
 Toonik
Tyme - (#624421)
After the long dark winter, the people of
Nunavut - “Our Land” - welcome the coming spring with fun, laughter and
games. Toonik Tyme is the Inuit festival of spring. Have you ever played
golf on an ice floe? Skated to the classics by the light of the aurora
borealis? Mark the change in season and celebrate with
the people of Iqaluit.
 Newfoundland
and Labrador Folk Festival - (#624431)
Kick up your heels and celebrate the 25th
anniversary of the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival in song and
music. Showcasing the talents of local artists and developing
musicians, the festival explores the culturally diverse vocal, instrumental
and dance traditions.
 Festival
of the Fathers - (#624441)
The 10th Annual Festival of the Fathers
brings to life the seminal moment of our nation's founding in 1867.
Recreating the Victorian society of the era through re-enactments of the
landing of the "Fathers" at Peake's Wharf and a gala ball in
period costume, the festival celebrates the events that established
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, as Canada's birthplace.
