Canada's 1967 Centennial Celebrations in Preeceville, Saskatchewan

We were 100 years old as a nation. To plan our 2017 events and celebrations we need first to look at the past. So where were you in 1967? Do you have any 1967 photos or artifacts you would like to share? Remember any stories about our town? What we did to celebrate? What events were held? What did other towns do?

Here's what Canada did. What did we do?
