CANADA DAY 2016

!! Canada Day is celebrated on July 1 each year.

Next year, Canada will celebrate its 150th year of confederation with a year of events scheduled across the country. But this year marks 149 years since the British North America Act was enacted in 1867, which effectively united the four organized provinces at the time into the dominion of Canada. Although the Queen remains its head of state, the country is a constitutional monarchy (meaning her royal powers are restricted by our constitution). The Constitution Act of 1982 and its Charter of Rights of Freedoms help outline the legal terms that secure Canadian independence from British parliament.

Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were the first four provinces to join the union. The next provinces were added three years later with the rest following suit at various intervals throughout the new country’s history. The last to be added was the territory of Nunavut in 1999.

Since its inception, Canada has grown to a population of 35 million. That’s still small relative to its physical size and to other developed nations (it’s tiny compared to our next door neighbour, as the population of the United States has pushed well over 318 million).

But Canada continues to impress with its evolution in politics and official policies to reflect a genuine desire

for inclusiveness and fairness. Just this past month, a private member’s bill to change two words in the Canadian national anthem passed a third reading on its way to removing one of the last vestiges of prejudice (in this case sexism) in its verse. The bill aims to recognize the equality of women by simply changing the words “our sons.”

It is a small change but worth the effort, and is just one in a long line of changes to the song since its inception in 1880. The original version of a national anthem was entirely in French and the lyrics were completely different. The fi rst English version was created in first 1906, and that was revised in 1908, then at least two more times before it settled on its current form in 1980.

symbols, has only been around since 1965. It became the country’s official flag nearly 100 years after confederation.

Although it started as a British colony, Canada has developed its own identity that strives to recognize its French, English, and First Nations heritage. Canada Day is a time to celebrate that effort. It’s also a time to remember the past and look forward to the country’s continuing journey.

That makes the current song just over three decades old.

Canada’s history after European settlement is young relative to many countries of the world, so it’s not surprising that its national symbols continue to evolve.

The Canadian flag, perhaps the most recognizable of the country’s

An important date in Canadian history, it marks the anniversary of the country’s confederation after European settlement. While First Nations history reaches back for millennia, French and British settlers arrived to the area just over a hundred years ago.

The green-blue backdrop of Waterfront Park becomes peppered with red and white each July 1st in North Vancouver. Maple leaf flags wave proudly in the breeze, as the Canadian spirit thrums strongly among the thousands attending North Vancouver Canada Day. When imagining the Canadian identity, we often crack jokes about maple syrup, beavers, hockey and Tim Horton’s. Though we proudly embrace this image, we may also take pride in the rich history of our country.

North Vancouver’s Canada Day Celebration takes care to recognize our history each year.

The event has witnessed many historic moments over the 27 years it has been hosted by the Rotary Club of Lions Gate.

From celebrating British Columbia’s 150th birthday in 2008, Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, and the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Flag in 2015, North Vancouver Canada Day pays tribute to the special moments that make up Canada’s history and culture. This year, Rotary’s Canada Day celebration adopts the theme of Canada History week, honouring 100th anniversary of women’s first right to vote in Canada.

In 1916, the push for the female vote was lead by the suffragettes. 100 years ago, the suffragettes fought for the inclusion of women in the House of Commons. Their legacy lives on today, as this past year we saw Canada’s first equal-gender Cabinet. Meanwhile, as the Bank of Canada

seeks a new face for the Canadian $100 bill, esteemed suffragette and rights activists Nellie McClung is one of the leading candidates. The actions of the suffragettes 100 years ago are long-lasting, continuing to shape Canada’s future.

As Canada continues to make these historic strides, we celebrate our country as a land of equality, inclusion, and opportunity. With Canada’s unique cultural landscape, the North Vancouver Waterfront Park celebration embraces this aspect of Canadian identity.

Spotlighting local performers and vendors hailing from a variety of backgrounds, North Vancouver’s celebration embodies the multiculturalism that has developed over Canada’s 149 years. Together, we honour Canadian progress and achievement on Friday, July 1st at Waterfront Park (200 Block of West Esplanade).

With an exciting day planned, there will be a variety of entertainment, food trucks, artisan crafts and activities suitable for all age groups. This event would not be possible without the hard work of our incredible volunteers and the generosity of our major supporters, including Jim Pattison Subaru North Shore, the City of North Vancouver, the District of North Vancouver, the Government of Canada, and local businesses.

Come join us and help celebrate Canada – the great moments of our history, and the moments yet to come.
