Today is Canada Day, a national holiday celebrating the enactment of the Constitution Act of 1867. On July 1, 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain and a federation of four provinces: Nova Scotia; New Brunswick; Ontario; and Quebec. The anniversary of this date was called Dominion Day until 1982. Since 1983, July 1 has been officially known as Canada Day........and a happy Canada Day to my Canadian Friends!
