55 PARALLELS
55 Parallels celebrates the ties that bind the United Kingdom and Canada. Our partnership is a global force for good, which enriches the lives of our people and nations. 55 Parallels tells the stories of our people, our shared values, and thirst for innovation.
55 STORIES. 55 PARALLELS.
WHY FIFTY-FIVE?
The 55th parallel binds our nations together across the Atlantic Ocean, passing through a diversity of Canadian and British lands, characteristic of the breadth of our relationship.
With 55 stories, we will tell you how Canadian and British people work together to discover more about the world around us and make us all safer, more secure, and more prosperous.
In August 2019 the Red Arrows, one of the world’s premier aerobatic display teams, celebrated 55 years of aerial displays with a Canadian tour. In early 2020 we also mark the 55th anniversary of Canada’s flag.
United, a force for good.
The UK and Canada have a long and proud history of working together as the only two members of all the G7, the G20, the Commonwealth, Five Eyes and NATO; to confront today’s global challenges, protect freedoms and build resilient futures.

For Everyone.
For many, the ties between Canada and the UK are personal. Millions of Canadians trace their family history back to the UK. Today, thousands more travel between our two countries to work, discover and sometimes, to stay.
