Saint John 225 is the official anniversary celebrations of the City of Saint John and its incorporation as Canada's original city. Saint John was incorporated on May 18, 1785 and in 2010 we're heading into our neighbourhoods to celebrate our city. This is the year Saint John tells its story: the stories of the people, events and places that have shaped Saint John. We are proud of our cultural, architectural and artistic heritage. Saint John 225 will showcase the talents of Saint John area artists and performers in all genres including music, dance, theatre, visual arts, film and writing. Saint John is a 2010 Cultural Capitals of Canada, a designation awarded by the federal Department of Canadian Heritage that provides significant funding for the promotion of the city's arts, culture and heritage
