Canada Day is a national holiday observed on July 1. A memorable Canadian 1st of July usually involves fireworks, barbeques, and pleasant weather. This holiday is more than just food, friends, and visiting with family. Over 150 years ago, the country’s Confederation was first honoured. Here are a few quick facts about Canada Day that you should need to know.
Canada Day is basically our Independence Day. Canada Day was initially called Dominion Day and officially became a statutory holiday in 1897. It was renamed in 1982 to Canada Day. The word Canada comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “Kanata.”
Canada Day celebrates the day Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Ontario (then Upper Canada), and Quebec (then, at that point, lower Canada) met up on July 1, 1867, to form our Constitution Act. The other areas before long took action accordingly. In any case, Nunavut just participated in 1999 after it split from NWT.
Google Doodle for today honours Canada Day by showcasing the different communities and majestic landscapes of the country on July 1, 2023.
The first of July is a wonderful time to spend with family, enjoy the outdoors, and discover the enthralling natural beauties of the nation. A few of the lovely activities featured in today’s Google Doodle to get you thinking about how you might want to spend the holiday weekend include canoeing, picnics, biking, and nature walks.
Did you know that this nation has more lakes than any other country in the world? In fact, Canada has more than 560 lakes that are larger than 100 square kilometers in size. To put that in context: Vancouver’s total area is slightly over 114 square kilometers.
Incredibly diverse landscapes may be found throughout Canada, including lush rainforests, harsh Arctic tundra, fertile prairies, and everything in between.
While today marks the 156th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation, it’s vital to remember that this country is located on lands and waterways that have been inhabited for thousands of years. On Canada Day, many Canadians reflect on how the nation was founded on Indigenous lands and the route to reconciliation. The land and landscapes shown in today’s Google Doodle artwork have been cared for by the Inuit, First Nations, and Métis people, and Indigenous peoples still maintain and preserve our territory.
