Canada Day is the National holiday of
Canada. Canada Day celebrates the
anniversary of the July 1, 1867 when united
Canada is formed as a single country of four
provinces.
Canada Day is always observed on July 1,
unless that date falls on a Sunday, in this

Canada Day is celebrated in a grand style at
Ottawa. Every year thousands of people
gather at Parliament Hill to take part in
the noon show with the Prime Minister.
All Canadians are entitled to Canada Day off
work except some emergency service workers.
Canada Day is considered as a Public Day
with outings, picnics and lots of outdoor

Canadians proudly fly the Canadian Flag,
sing songs and enjoy the day with their
friends and families. |
