PSWLaw wishes you a happy and safe Canada Day on July 1, 2009.

Did you know…

Canada Day was formally known as “Dominion Day,” which marked the joining of the British colonies Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Upper Canada (now Ontario), and Lower Canada (now Quebec) on July 1, 1867.

Canada was primarily considered a part of the British Empire, rather than an independent nation, during the late 19th and the early 20th century. It’s only after World War II that the federal government started actively promoting the occasion of Canada’s birthday.
