What is Canada Day?

Canada Day is the official anniversary of the birth of our nation. July 1, 1867, saw the uniting of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada province by the Constitution Act. This union grew and changed over the next century to become the Canada we know and love today.

The history of Canada Day

This holiday started out under the name Dominion Day. Dominion Day was first established in 1879, but many Canadians considered themselves to be British citizens and opted not to partake in the celebrations. This changed over time and the annual holiday increased in popularity at the 50th anniversary in 1917.

In 1946, a bill was launched in a bid to rename Dominion Day. However, disagreements in the House of Commons postponed the bill from being actioned.

By the time the 100th anniversary in 1967 rolled around, substantial growth in Canadian patriotism was evident. This is when Dominion Day celebrations really began to take flight.

Many Canadians had already begun to call the holiday Canada Day – or Fête du Canada. In 1982, Canada was officially granted its independence from England and Dominion Day was formally renamed Canada Day in October of the same year.
