As part of its "Road to 2017" program, the Government of Canada has established a number of official milestones that it plans to mark.

In 2014, the milestones included:

- Centennial of the start of the First World War
- 75th anniversary of the start of the Second World War
- 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Québec Conferences
- Bicentennial of Sir George-Étienne Cartier's birth

Each of these four official milestones was marked by at least one commemorative coin (in the case of the World Wars, multiple coins were issued).


In 2015, Canada will officially celebrate:

- Bicentennial of Sir John A. Macdonald's birth
- 50th anniversary of the National Flag of Canada

It seems likely that one or more coins for each of these anniversaries is likely as a 2015 release.

Looking forward to a 50th anniversary flag coin to go with the 2005 red enamel - one of my favourites and one of the few I paid a premium to get.

Can't do any better than your pic and description here commems...

Coincidently, here is a bit of interesting video from today interviewing Joan O'Malley on the creation of the flag 50 years ago tomorrow.

Nicely crafted Remembrance Day coin wouldn't harm to all the crowd of adult and babies animals and all other "whatever", that has been stroke or painted on top of the coins.

The video with Joan is definitely worth checking out - very interesting story behind Canada's flag.

Thanks for the link CC-Ottawa!
