This 1st of July, Canadians from all groups, races and ages are proudly celebrating their day of independence from Great Britain. The Canada Day is a holiday elegantly and widely celebrated by the whole Canadian population.
On this day, years ago (in 1867) Canada became an independent dominion from Great Britain officially established with the British North Americas Act. Canada became a federation of four provinces: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. Known as the Dominion Day, since 1983 the day was officially renamed as the "Canada Day"- the way how it is celebrated today. (Source, About)
The Canada Day is the largest annual holiday event in Thunder Bay - the neighboring city of the Twin Ports (WI). With estimates of over 20,000 the municipality is planning to organize a multitude of outdoor events. The symbol of national pride- the Canadian flag can be seen everywhere on the Canada Day. It consists of two vertical red rectangles separated by a white square, containing a red image of a maple leaf.
The Canada Day will include a lot of ceremonies- city pancake breakfasts, concerts, official town's parade with evening firework display and many other official citizenship ceremonies for new Canadian citizens. The patriotic mood can be seen everywhere from the national flags in red and white displayed on cars and houses to the elegantly dressed Canadians with smiles on their faces.
The 1st of July is the day when the summer closes all school doors in Thunder Bay and all its students are proudly celebrating the beginning of summer vacation. Even the post office is closed. It is well known that only the public transport is still operating on that day, while most of the shops, small business offices, and little stores are closed. Only few pharmacies and gas stations may operate on this day.
