Day is Canada’s national day, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the
anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act
(today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united two British colonies
and a province of the British Empire into a single country called Canada. Frequently
referred to as “Canada’s birthday”, particularly by 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, 1897. Although
Canada is regarded as having become a kingdom in its own right on that date,
the British Parliament 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 Canada
constitution. Most
communities across the country will host organized celebration for Canada Day,
usually outdoor public events, such as parades, carnivals, festivals,
barbecues, air and maritime shows, fireworks and free musical concerts, as well
as citizenship ceremonies for new citizens. Here’s a
list of some of the Canada Day Celebrations occurring across the country:
