Millennium Bureau of Canada was a small, temporary agency of the Government of Canada, to celebrate the "millennium" during the year 2000.

The 665 projects carried out by the Millennium Bureau include:

  • Tall Ships in Halifax, Nova Scotia
  • Relay 2000 of the Trans Canada Trail in Hull, Quebec on September 9, 2000
  • Literacy Builders

  • Pacific Grace Replica Schooner
  • Meewasin Valley Trail System
  • Canada Dance Festival
  • Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic Millennium Exhibit
