The Nation’s Capital is the headquarters for Canada’s birthday celebration on July 1, 2010. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people visit Parliament Hill, Major’s Hill Park, Jacques-Cartier Park, and other locations in the surrounding areas to celebrate Canada. This year marks Canada’s 143rd birthday.

On June 20, 1868, the Canada’s Governor General proclaimed that Canadians should celebrate the anniversary of the confederation (July 1st 1867, the “British North Americas Act” created the Dominion of Canada as a federation of four provinces).  July 1st then  became a statutory holiday, known as Dominion Day in 1879.  No official celebrations were really held until the 50th anniversary in 1917 and the 60th anniversary in 1927.  After World War II, Dominion Day was celebrated more frequently and more events were organized by the national government.  After the centenary of the confederation in 1967, Dominion Day events became more widespread.  July 1st  became officially known as Canada Day from 1983 onwards.

Interesting!  Did you know that in the province of Quebec, many home leases start on July 1st and last for exactly one year?  Forget the party!  Many  people in Quebec spend Canada Day moving their possessions from one house to another.  Canada Day  in Quebec is also known as Moving Day!

Victoria Day is always on a Monday, making this holiday a long weekend, commonly referred to as the Victoria Day Weekend, the May Long Weekend, or the May Two-Four (referring to a beverage consumed on this weekend). The weekend is also called the May 24th weekend, although it does not necessarily always fall on May 24th.

The Victoria Day Weekend is the first popular weekend for spring / summer travel. Lots of people open up their cottages, plant gardens, or just get away. Expect crowds at resorts and hotels and busy highways. Fireworks displays are common, especially on Monday night.

Plan ahead as banks, schools, many stores and restaurants are closed on the Monday. Public transportation will run on the holiday schedule.

Hi Timothy,

Sorry it took a while.

Attached are a couple of photos of Ryan at the Sabre - Wild Hockey game.

Ryan is sitting here with me and this is what he says about the game:

“Thank you very much for the tickets to the game. My Mom took me and we had a great time. The score was 3-2 for Minnesota Wild. It was hard to know who to cheer for. I really like Buffalo Sabres and was wearing my Buffalo Sabres hat, but I wanted to cheer for Minnesota Wild because Cal Clutterbuck and Owen Nolan are on that team. Anyhow it was a good game and thanks again”
