Canada Day Checklist

Sunday June 14, 2009
Canada Day Checklist Canada is having another birthday on July 1, marking the anniversary of Canadian Confederation in 1867. The July 1 holiday was originally established as Dominion Day in 1879 and it took more than 100 years for the name to be officially changed to Canada Day in 1982. This Canada Day Checklist has information that might come in handy to help you celebrate Canada Day. So dust off your Canadian flag, steep yourself in Canadiana, and get ready to party!
