Sat Jul 1st

Canada Day

Around Canada, Canadian's everywhere celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. The day honors the day three provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canada Province) became one country under the Constitution Act on July 1, 1867. On February 15th, Canadians celebrate their flag.

Although most provinces and territories observe the national holiday, the day isn't celebrated in the same way around the world. Most companies close for the day, but different celebrations take place depending on the province. Much of the country will celebrate summer-like festivities, including barbecues, fireworks, and concerts.. A moving day attitude is also unique to Quebec. Since lease terms come to an end in Quebec on July 1st, the holiday takes a back seat to those who don't renew.

For example, the spicy Caesar challenges the Bloody Mary to a taste test when it comes to beverages. Poutine is also loved by Canadians – crisp fries, fresh cheese curds, and gravy.

Delectable lobster rolls were filled the main course delectably. Although you may want to skip dessert, don't worry about it. In delectable butter tarts, you'll find your maple syrup.. A mountain of meringue fits the bill for pie, flapper pie, and the like.
