To all of our friends north of the border, including those celebrating Canada’s silver medal at the 8th ISF Jr. World Championships last week, we wish you a Happy Canada Day.
Frequently referred to as “Canada’s birthday,” particularly in the popular press, the occasion marks the joining of the British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867.
