Canada Day, celebrated every year on July 1st, is the national holiday of Canada, commemorating the birth of the nation. The day marks the anniversary of the Confederation of Canada in 1867, when the three colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) united to form the Dominion of Canada. This event was made official through the British North America Act, which laid the foundation for the country’s federal government system. Over the years, July 1st has become a symbol of national pride and unity, evolving into a day for Canadians to honor their history, culture, and shared identity.
