TORONTO – TVO is marking Ontario's and Canada's 150th anniversary this year with educational content designed to engage Ontarians in a discussion about what it means to be an Ontarian and a Canadian.
The provincial broadcaster said that its multiplatform celebration will include stories and themes related to the immigrant experience, Aboriginal roots, contemporary Canadian identity, and Ontario's contribution to Confederation and to the world.
"As the digital public space for Ontario-perspective in-depth current affairs and the province's partner for digital learning, TVO has a history of providing content that both informs and enlightens Ontarians on the big issues of the day”, said CEO Lisa de Wilde, in the news release. “There is no better occasion than Canada's special anniversary for Ontarians to engage in a province-wide dialogue about the issues, perspectives, and stories that matter most to our national identity in the present, and in the next 150 years."
Throughout 2017, sesquicentennial content will be marked with a special TVO-designed tribute logo for Canada/Ontario150.
