Happy 157th Birthday to Canada!
My friend were always shocked that an NY'er would know all the proveniences. (can't tell you all the capitals) wish we got a little
more Canadian history as a boarder state we share quite a bit.
Happy 157th Birthday to Canada!
Canada Day (Originally call Dominion Day) celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867. The three
separate colonies of The Province of Canada (modern day Ontario &
Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into a single
dominion within the British Empire called Canada.
Manitoba & Northwest Territories would join in 1870.
British Columbia would join in 1871.
Prince Edward Island would join in 1873.
Yukon Territory would join in 1898.
Saskatchewan & Alberta would join in 1905.
Newfoundland would join in 1949.
And finally Nunavut was formed in 1999.
This concludes your brief & simplified Canadian history lesson.
