Begun in 1995 by the National Capital Commission(NCC) under the general name of the Family Exchange Program, the objectives of the Celebrate Canada in the Capitals program are to foster a feeling of pride in Canada and to encourage Canadians to explore the rich culture and heritage of their country. In the beginning, the program enabled one randomly chosen family from each province and territory to visit Canada's Capital Region for five days during Winterlude, and twelve other families to travel to the Capital for Canada Day. During their stay, the winners were billeted with host families in the region, which added a friendly dimension to the program while giving participants a more connected exchange experience.

OBS

Lancé en 1995 par la Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN) sous le nom général de «Programme de visites familiales», le programme Fêtons le Canada dans les capitales vise à susciter un sentiment de fierté à l'égard du Canada en incitant les Canadiens à explorer la riche culture et le patrimoine de leur pays. Au début, ce programme permettait à une famille par province et par territoire choisie au hasard de faire une visite de cinq jours dans la région de la capitale du Canada durant le Bal de Neige et à douze autres familles de voyager dans la capitale pour la fête du Canada. Pendant leur séjour, les gagnants étaient reçus par des familles d'accueil dans la région, ce qui ajoutait une dimension d'amitié au programme tout en donnant aux participants l'occasion d'un échange plus concret.
