National Day of Canada

Canada Day, celebrated on July 1st each year, marks the anniversary of the confederation when the country officially became a united nation in 1867. It commemorates the joining of three colonies—Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada (now Ontario and Quebec)—to form the Dominion of Canada. The day is recognized nationwide with fireworks, parades, concerts, and various festivities that celebrate Canadian heritage, culture, and identity. It’s a time for Canadians to take pride in their history and unity, often spent with family and community activities across the country.
