The Viking settled the east coast of Canada in 1000 AD. Canada was invaded twice by Americans in 1775 and 1812. Canada got its flag after 100 years of becoming a country – 15th February 1965. The unique culture of Newfoundland and Labrador is a product of English, Irish, French, and Aboriginal heritage. English and French are the two official languages of Canada.
Canadian Heritage and its portfolio organizations play a vital role in the cultural, civic and economic life of Canadians.
