Canada Day Word Search
Canada Day falls on July 1 and marks the 1867 law that joined three British colonies into a single country of four provinces. The holiday went by the name Dominion Day until 1982, when Parliament changed it to the one used now. Towns mark the date with pancake breakfasts, parades and evening fireworks, and new citizens are often sworn in that morning.
