Canada Day, July 1, is the national day of Canada. A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North America Act, 1867, when the three separate colonies of the United Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into a single dominion within the British Empire called Canada. Originally called Dominion Day, it became an official public holiday in 1879. “Ode for Dominion Day”, a poem published anonymously in 1879, appeared that year in support of the holiday inauguration. The holiday was later renamed Canada Day in 1982.
We offer other works on the Confederation including The Fighting-Slogan and The Fathers of Confederation, A Chronicle of the Birth of the Dominion (Chronicles of Canada #28). Come join us and proof a few pages to help us bring more public domain titles like these to Canada. More information about volunteering is available on our companion site Distributed Proofreaders Canada.
