Students in 100 Voices to Grade 12 are invited to design a poster for Red & White Day on May 30, 2017. Red & White Day falls on the 150 day of the year. Students are encouraged to design a poster and incorporate one of the four Government of Canada themes for the vision of the 150th anniversary of Confederation. 

The main themes are:

• Diversity and inclusion – To continue building a welcoming Canada where there is a place for everyone, a Canada where everyone can reach his or her full potential.
• Reconciliation from with Indigenous peoples –To support the vital work of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples as outlined in the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Reconciliation is a journey for all Canadians as we move forward into Canada%27s next 150 years.
• Youth – To continue to engage young people and give them the means to contribute to our society, because they are the ones who will shape tomorrow's Canada.
