Oh Canada

Tomorrow, July 1st, is Canada Day here in our country. It is the country's birthday of the confederation of our dominion. Our actual confederation took place on July 1, 1867. We began small, like people do themselves. We were only 4 provinces, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Today we are home to 10 provinces and 3 territories. We have 3 coasts. Celebrations tomorrow often begin in local parks with pancake breakfasts, with maple syrup, there is usually games to attract families, parades, grilled foods for lunch followed by more afternoon fun, topped off by fireworks at dusk. Everyone you see will be wearing a red shirt and often a red or a red and white hat. I have a few Canada themed red shirts that I can choose from for tomorrow. I have one all laid out already. Hopefully this is some useful information as to how we will spend our day tomorrow in our country. Happy (and polite) to be here, with our friends and families. ~photo is mine
