Explore150: Go Canada!

What place in Canada most defines you as a Canadian? Vote while you’re here, then follow us @Explore150 to join the discussion and show us on Instagram #Explore150!

Through this participatory process, you will identify and vote for your favourite natural, historic, and cultural sites across each province and territory, ultimately choosing the Canadian places and milestones we highlight in our Explore150 mobile app – to be launched November 1st! Stay tuned for updates on the project.

Do you have questions, comments or want to get involved? Get in touch through Explore150@takingitglobal.org

Which of Canada's natural, cultural, and historical sites excites and interests you most?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.
