Footage includes: a sunrise ceremony and dramatized historic events in Newfoundland; highland games and dancing in Nova Scotia; the initiation of new/Canadian citizens in Quebec; simultaneous bell-ringing in Windsor (Ontario) and Detroit (Michigan) to denote friendship between these Canadian and American cities and the "Let Freedom Ring" centennial theme; part of the R.C.M.P. musical ride in the Northwest Territories; young musicians playing "Happy Birthday" to Canada in Manitoba; and ceremonies in British Columbia to commemorate Canada's first national railway. On-camera tributes to Canada's 116th anniversary are given by: W.O. Mitchell, Canadian author; Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales; and the governor general Edward Schreyer.
