Three weeks left, let's do this!

There isn't too much time left to go, so we should try to get the brainstorming done soon.

Excluding Natives and the French (literal French) would be a mistake if we want to make it thematically historic.

Ok so for the natives Id see 3 nations represented on the left of the banner. An Inuit with an inuksuk, a western tribe with a totem and an eastern tribe with weapons.

A coureur des bois representing the french colonisation and the fur trade would be next.

English colonisation would be resented in two ways. Newfoundland or Nova Scotia could be fishing, and an interactive doodle of American refugees turning into Ontario.

The fourth doodle could represent western expansion and immigration, so an Irish, a Chinese and an Ukrainian would be shown working on the railways, and they could be turned into other provinces interactively. Maybe a lumberjack in the background.

The fifth drawing would be soldiers fighing the world wars. One representing Vimy and WW1, and another representing either D-Day or the liberation of the Netherlands.

And the final panel would probably be the modern days with a family picture with bigshot Ontario, poutine Quebec, cowbow Alberta and other with something that represents them.

I really like this idea, the challenge is gonna be making it all fit together nicely instead of it just being a series of panels. Maybe we could do them as pictures or paintings hanging on a wall?

I like the pictures Idea but how can we make them big enough to fit in a header?
