Long before the U.S. decided to make state quarters Canada had issued twelve province and territories quarters. It was Canada's 125th anniversary of confederation in 1992 and hold a national contest where voters choose the design for each. They celebrated with official ceremonies in each capital of the corresponding province or territory.
Of course the one I found is the most common.
Do not get confused the dual date of 1867-1992 just means it was issued in 1992. The official release was August 6, 1992 and it was the eighth in the series. A new design came out about once every month and marked a turning point for circulating commemorative coins.
Before these quarters countries would release only a few coins over the year that would circulate. For 1992 Canada released 13 commemorative coins as well as the modified regular coins. America would soon follow by 1997 already having the 50 state quarters program made into law.
As for Canada they continued with that tradition and for the millennium, 1999 & 2000 (although the real millennium is 2001), they issued 24 commemorative quarters.
