Today, Canadians across the country and around the world celebrate Canada Day, marking the anniversary of the Confederation of Canada on July 1, 1867.
This national holiday, originally known as Dominion Day, commemorates the unification of the three separate colonies of the United Province of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into a single Dominion within the British Empire. Canada Day is a time for Canadians to express their national pride and enjoy festivities that include parades, concerts, fireworks, and cultural events. It's a day to celebrate the diverse heritage, shared values, and accomplishments of the Canadian people.
Happy Canada Day!
