Lucia Koscova
Even though our family dog, Bentley, doesn’t look very excited trust me he enjoyed the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday with a full dog bowl and loved it.

Sae Oiwa
I celebrated with the bus driver, and people on the bus! When I rode the bus, all the passengers wore red clothes and the driver wore a temporary tattoo of Canada’s flag.

Daisy Dai
To me, the Canadian flag represents people who are united and free.

Coca-Cola celebrates Canada’s 150th anniversary by organizing boxes of COKE into the shape of a maple leaf. I saw this at a supermarket and it reminds me that I am so fortunate to live in Canada.
