Canada National Day 2025 celebration
Every year on July 1st, communities across Canada come alive with celebration, reflection, and national pride. Canada Day marks the anniversary of the formation of the country we know today – and in 2025, it offers another powerful moment to honour the past, celebrate the present, and imagine a better future. Whether it’s fireworks in Vancouver, concerts in Ottawa, or quiet moments of gratitude at home, Canada Day invites people of all backgrounds to connect with the meaning of being Canadian.
What is Canada Day?
Canada Day commemorates the confederation of Canada, when the British North America Act (now called the Constitution Act) came into effect on July 1, 1867. It united the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into one country under a federal government. Over time, Canada grew to include all ten provinces and three territories, developing its own identity distinct from its colonial roots.
