Hello everyone, and happy Canada Day.
July 1 is our national holiday!
On July 1, 1867, the British North America Act (today known as the Constitution Act, 1867) creates Canada.
Canada Day is a day to reflect on what it means to be Canadian, to share what makes us proud and to celebrate in our own way.
