Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united three colonies into a single country called Canada within the British Empire. Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was passed. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as among Canadians internationally.


Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday", particularly in the popular press, the occasion marks the joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. Canada became a kingdom in its own right on that date, but the British parliament and Cabinet kept limited rights of political control over the new country that were shed by stages over the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982, when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution.

Under the federal Holidays Act, Canada Day is observed on July 1, unless that date falls on a Sunday, in which case July 2 is the statutory holiday, although celebratory events generally take place on July 1, even though it is not the legal holiday. If it falls on a Saturday, any businesses normally closed that day will generally dedicate the following Monday as a day off.

Don't mean to correct the spelling, but when you make reference to a great Canadian Beer, you have to get it right, 'Molson's'!

Independance from France; except in Quebec!




Seriously, Canada's are the one international waters Ihave sailed in.Good people smart enough to not entirely trust Americans and,along with Australia, New Zealand and usually Great Britain , our closest allies. Like cousins, we sometimes fight but family is family.

Viva la Revolucion! No wait, that's the other border.

Viva la Molson!

Very nice country and most of the people are really great . We have traveled a lot in Canada, had our Honey Moon in Quebec ( don't care for them ) spent a lot of time around London, in fact we were coming back from a glider invitational in Toronto and came across the first international helicopter contest. Very interesting to bad we didn't have more time to watch. Got stuck in the parking lot . lol

We don't travel much anymore but if we did Canada would always be on the list to visit . We have a lot of Canadians where we live now. ENJOY !!! RED
