Canada Day

Canada Day has been called a few names in the past. It used to known as Dominion Day,
the First Day of July, Confederation Day and July the First.

Canada was formed on June 20,1867, by proclamation sign by the Governor General, Lord Monck. The proclamation called all the British North American provinces to form a federation under the name of Canada on July 1. The holiday celebrates the events that took place on this day.
The July 1 holiday was established by statue in 1879, under the name of Dominion Day which is why Canada Day was originally called Dominion Day.

In 1862, Dominion Day changed to Canada Day after a vote in Parliament. In 1985, Canada Day committees are established in each province and territory to plan, organize, and co-ordinate the Canada Day celebrations locally.

Happy Canada Day and all the best in moccasin trekking.
