There are a number of organisations based in Canada operating
both Canadian and global projects.
The Millennium Council of Canada
represents and promotes initiatives aimed at realising the positive
opportunities presented by the Year 2000 and the beginning of the New
Millennium.
The Millennium Bureau of
Canada has a site that permits a voice for Canadians to present activities
in their region that revolve around the millennium from special projects down
to the party in the town hall. All are welcome to submit events and most all
of them are posted in a searchable database.

Timecapsule 2000
Timecapsule
2000: Canadians from coast to coast to coast are being asked to share
their memories and impressions of what this millennium means to them. Almost
anything goes ... a poem, song, short story, part of a diary, a cherished
photo, grandpa Stan's war medals, Nana Lucille's special quilt, the signing of
the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement ... something of great historical
significance or something that is close to the heart like the first harpoon
that one of our students made. If you are new to digital technology, ask for
help at your local school or Community Access Centre. People there can likely
help you transfer your memories into digital form and send them on to the
great folks at , the sponsors of this project. They will collect them and
store them in a digital time capsule that we hope will be buried under an
inukshuk to be built by Inuit in Ottawa on July 1st in the year 2000. From the
Leo Ussak Elementary School in the Canadian
Arctic.
See other timecapsules in our Timecapsule
2000 feature.
