DID YOU KNOW…
- The July 1 holiday was established by statute in 1879, under the name Dominion Day.
- There is
no record of organized ceremonies after this first anniversary, except for the 50th
anniversary of Confederation in 1917, at which time the new Centre Block of the Parliament
Buildings, under construction, was dedicated as a memorial to the Fathers of Confederation and to the valour
of Canadians fighting in the First World War in Europe.
- The next celebration was held in 1927 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation. It was highlighted
by the laying of the cornerstone by the Governor General of the Confederation Building on Wellington
Street and the inauguration of the Carillon in the Peace Tower.
- Since 1958, the government has arranged for an annual observance of Canada's national day with the
Secretary of State of Canada in charge of the coordination. The format provided for a Trooping the Colours
ceremony on the lawn of Parliament Hill in the afternoon, a sunset ceremony in the evening followed by a
mass band concert and fireworks display.
- Another highlight was Canada's Centennial in 1967 when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II attended the
celebrations with Parliament Hill again being the backdrop for a large scale official ceremony.
- The format changed in 1968 with the addition of multicultural and professional concerts held on
Parliament Hill including a nationally televised show. Up until 1975, the focus of the celebrations, under the
name "Festival Canada", was held in the National Capital Region during the whole month of July and involved numerous cultural, artistic and sport activities, as well as municipalities and voluntary organizations.
The celebration was cancelled in 1976 but was reactivated in 1977.
- On October 27, 1982, July 1st which was known as "Dominion Day" became "Canada Day".

of others.~ DeAnn Hollis
‘DANCE LIKE A BUTTERFLY’
Presentation
October 23rd 2pm & 6:30pm
(Open to Families & Staff)
“It is a very sensitive, touching play which presents many of the issues and emotions
experienced by elderly people when they first come to the realization that they can
no longer look after themselves, must give up a measure of their independence and
move on to another phase in their lives which is often a nursing home”.
This moving story, seen through the eyes of an 85 year old woman, is based on the
playwright’s own experience with her father and aunt, and told with love, compassion,
humour and great insight.
