The Canadian Centenary Series
The Canadian Centenary Series was a special set of books made in celebration of Canada's 100th birthday in 1967. These books were made for people who wanted to learn more about Canada's history and culture.
Imagine that Canada is like a big cake, and each slice of the cake is a different part of Canada's story. The Centenary Series books were like a recipe book that helped people learn how to make each slice of cake - from the very first Indigenous people who lived in Canada, to the French and English colonizers, and all the way up to modern times.
Each book in the series focused on a specific topic, such as Canadian literature, art, music, or political history. Some books even talked about Canada's landscape and wildlife. The authors of the books were Canadian experts who knew a lot about each topic, kind of like a teacher who knows a lot about math or English.
The Centenary Series was very special because it helped Canadians and people from around the world learn all about Canada's history and culture. It was like a big birthday present for Canada, and it helped people celebrate all the amazing things that make Canada unique.
