Canada Day Facts:

1.) Canadian annual holiday marking the day in 1867 when Canada became the first British colony to become a dominion.

2.) Former name Dominion Day.

3.) Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday", 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.

4.) Canada became a kingdom in its own right on that date, but the British Parliament held limited political control over the new country, that was shed in stages over the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982.


Have a great day and remember: Go Ahead & Indulge!
