Canada Day: A Celebration of Unity and Sovereignty


Canada Day marks the anniversary of Canadian Confederation, when on July 1, 1867, the British North America Act (now called the Constitution Act, 1867) united the colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada (which later split into Ontario and Quebec) into a single country within the British Empire called Canada.

Originally known as Dominion Day, it was celebrated informally for many years before becoming a statutory holiday in 1879. The name was officially changed to Canada Day in 1982, the same year Canada fully patriated its constitution, severing the last legal ties to the British Parliament.
