Canada 150 Club Project

Some time ago, Joanne suggested that as a Canada 150 project, all club members submit pictures of what they considered to be iconic Canadian people, things and places.

The top row has the coats of arms of all the provinces, territories and Canada along with a Canadian flag. (These weren't included in the 150 count.)
