Happy Canada Day! Canada's national
holiday is celebrated annually, on July 1st.
As you might know from the history books, on July 1, 1867, the nation was
officially born when the “Constitution Act” joined three provinces into one
country: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canada province, which then split
into Ontario and Quebec. However, Canada was not completely independent of
England until 1982. Canada is a very unique country, with such a diverse population, immense territories,
and our national holiday is the perfect occasion for all Canadians across the
land to show their patriotism. Each year on July 1st, many communities
organize a large variety of events (eloquent
cultural displays and many outdoor public events, such as parades, carnivals,
festivals, air and maritime shows, fireworks, picnics, sporting events, many
free musical concerts, as well as citizenship ceremonies), when the spirit
of togetherness melts all barriers and brings people joy.
To all those who consider Canada as their home and native land, once
again, HAPPY CANADA DAY!
