Description
This image shared 3rd place in a Canada Day contest here on FAA in July 2015.
Canada's national holiday is celebrated on July 1.
Canadians across the country and around the world show their pride in their history, culture and achievements. It's been a day of celebration, where many festivities are held across the country, since 1868.
The Creation of Canada Day is explained below:
July 1, 1867: The British North America Act (today known as the Constitution Act, 1867) created Canada.
June 20, 1868: Governor General Lord Monck signs a proclamation that requests all Her Majesty's subjects across Canada to celebrate July 1.
1879: A federal law makes July 1 a statutory holiday as the anniversary of Confederation, which is later called Dominion Day.
Toronto Ontario is the capital of the province of Ontario. Here is my tribute to one of the best cities in Canada, and my tribute to Canada on this glorious day.
October 27, 1982: July 1, Dominion Day officially becomes Canada Day.
