About Canada Day

Canada Day, on 1 July, celebrates the day in 1867 when three colonies joined to form the country of Canada. It is the national holiday and the country's birthday.

Cities and small towns hold parades, concerts, citizenship ceremonies for new Canadians and fireworks after dark. People wear red and white, paint maple leaves on their cheeks and fly the flag from porches and cottages.

Many families spend the day at a lake, a park or the backyard with a barbecue, and the celebrations welcome the many cultures, and the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, who make up Canada today.

How people celebrate Canada Day

How to wish well
