In Canada, Orangemen’s Day is primarily observed in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, where it is a provincial holiday. The holiday commemorates the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, a historic conflict in Ireland in which Protestant King William of Orange defeated Catholic King James II. This victory played a significant role in shaping political and religious dynamics in Ireland, and its legacy spread to regions with Irish Protestant communities, such as Newfoundland and Labrador.

The holiday is celebrated on the Monday closest to July 12, and its observance is largely tied to the region’s historical connection to Irish Protestant settlers. Unlike in Northern Ireland, where large-scale parades and marches often mark the occasion, the celebrations in Canada are typically more subdued and localized. Orange Lodges in Newfoundland and Labrador may organize parades, community gatherings, and cultural events, though it is not widely celebrated in other parts of Canada.
