Dominion Day in Canada
Called variously Canada Day, Dominion Day, or
Confederation Day. July I in Canada celebrates the
date in 1867 when the provinces to our north were
united in Dominion The Maritime Provinces were ini

selves. but Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island were
convinced early on. (Newfoundland held her ground

Canada was proclaimed a self-governing Dominion
within the British Empire. As recently as 1982, Canada
took a step toward its independence by securing
the right to amend its constitution
