Happy Canada Day to all Canadians, near and far! On July 1st, Canadians from coast to coast come together to celebrate Canada Day, a day marking the birth of the nation. As we wave the maple leaf flag and enjoy festivities, it is important to acknowledge not only the greatness of Canada but also the challenges it faces. While recognizing areas for improvement, we can still take immense pride in the nation's achievements and enduring spirit. The Greatness of Canada Natural Beauty and Environmental Stewardship Canada is blessed with some of the most spectacular natural landscapes in the world. From the majestic Rocky Mountains to the serene Atlantic coastlines, the vast prairies to the dense boreal forests, Canada's natural beauty is unparalleled. National parks such as Banff, Jasper, and Gros Morne are not just tourist attractions but symbols of the country's commitment to preserving its natural heritage. Cultural Diversity and Inclusivity One of Canada's most cherished attributes is its cultural diversity. With two official languages, English and French, and a rich tapestry of indigenous cultures and immigrant communities, Canada is a beacon of multiculturalism. Cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal are celebrated for their vibrant mix of cultures, cuisines, and traditions. Canada’s inclusive policies and multicultural ethos have created a society where diversity is not only accepted but celebrated. Commitment to Social Justice and Equality Canada is globally recognized for its commitment to social justice and equality. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms for all citizens, reinforcing the nation's dedication to democracy, justice, and human rights. Education and Innovation Canada is home to some of the world's leading universities and research institutions. The country's emphasis on high-quality education and cutting-edge research has fostered innovation and technological advancement. Canadian scientists and entrepreneurs are making significant contributions in fields such as healthcare, environmental science, and artificial intelligence. This commitment to education and innovation ensures that Canada remains competitive in the global arena. Conclusion As we celebrate Canada Day, it is important to recognize both the strengths and challenges of this great nation. Canada has always been and continues to be a great country, and with collective effort and determination, it can overcome its challenges and thrive for generations to come.

What did Canada Day used to be known as pre-1983? Today, July 1st, marks the anniversary of Canada’s confederation in 1867 when three British colonies - Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada (later to become Ontario and Quebec) - united to form the 'Dominion of Canada'. Originally called ‘Dominion Day’, the holiday was renamed as ‘Canada Day’ in 1982, seen as a modern shift away from colonial-era terminology. The interesting difference between a ‘colony’ and a ‘dominion’ is that the latter has attained a degree of self-governance whilst remaining loyal - in this instance - to the ethos of the British family, or Crown. Functions of the Crown in the Dominions are not undertaken personally by the sovereign but by a governor-general, appointed by the sovereign (Oxford University Press). Mary Simon is the current governor general of Canada, and is the first Indigenous appointment to the role. She became the 30th governor general of Canada on 26th July 2021. CELEBRATIONS As with many celebrations around the world, fireworks play a central role, with people gathering in parks and waterfronts across the country to see the night skies light up. Many Canadians dress in the national colours of red & white, attending parties and cultural activities, which may include historical reenactments (Halifax) or Indigenous ceremonies (Winnipeg). According to website ‘Ramblyn Jazz’, the day brings mixed feelings amongst Indigenous cultures, due to historical injustices. Though Indigenous communities frequently do use the day to showcase their cultures and contributions to Canadian life. In Montreal, where I spent two-years, this year’s main event will be a family focussed affair in the Old Port of Montreal, which is a fun and vibrant part of the city, full of bars, restaurants and a zip wire for those feeling more daring. In addition to the main celebrations at the Old Port, various Montreal neighbourhoods organise their own Canada Day events. For example, Pierrefonds-Roxboro on the opposite shore of Montreal island, hosts a parade, amusement park, and fireworks.

Today as we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, we reflect on the many contributions Indigenous people have made to Canada. As an organization and as individuals, we recognize and respect: - The diversity of Indigenous cultures and worldviews and their roles in Canada’s past, present, and future. - Our collective responsibility to share natural resources revenues and close gaps in socio-economic conditions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. - Our role in the journey towards reconciliation by advancing Indigenous knowledge systems in all our work. - Our privilege to live, work, and play on Indigenous land.
