Canada Day celebrates the birthday of Canada. 150 years ago, On July 1, 1867, Canada became a new federation with its own constitution by signing the Constitution Act - formerly known as the British North America Act.
Community-driven projects form the basis for the celebrations of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation.
Communities all across the country are celebrating today and highlighting regional talent and expertise, as well as the various facets of Canada’s diversity. Projects include festivals, youth exchanges and forums, cultural projects and works of art.
