Canada Day 2009


Today, July 1st, is Canada Day - when we celebrate "Canada's birthday".
What we are actually celebrating is the Date of Confederation (July 1867) when four provinces joined together into a federation and became the Dominion of Canada. It celebrates one of the major milestones in the long but peaceful political process that resulted in the Canada of today.

    Excellent composition! Great colors!

    I'm sorry to be so ignorant, but is today Canada Day?

    Have a great day, whatever it is!

    Happy Birthday Canada! I very nearly became a Canadian, my dad was offered a job in Saskatoon but being 11 I said I would not go.. I never did get to play ice hockey.
