151st Canada Day Ahead! JULY 1st

On Sunday, July 1, 2018 this year we are going to be celebrating
Canada’s 151st  birthday in as usual way with a fun-filled evening of live music and dance performances, family activities and a spectacular fireworks show choreographed to music.
There are plenty of opportunities to show off our national pride throughout the country on Canada Day. As expected, Canadians are going to mark the anniversary with more excitement.
‘Canada Day’ being a federal statutory holiday, is celebrated throughout Canada with full fervour in recognition of the “July 1, 1867 enactment” of the British North Americas Act (BNA), also called “The Constitution Act, 1867.”
Historically speaking, the Canadian founders of confederation were the representatives of the British North America colonies who attended the three major conferences on Canadian confederation.
Sir John A. Macdonald became the first Prime Minister of Canada on that day. Not only was he the ‘father of confederation,’ but he also drafted two-thirds of the provisions of the BNA creating the ‘Dominion of Canada.’ As a result, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain.The four provinces were created from the former British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario.
Currently, Canada consists of ten provinces and three territories. This Canadian national holiday was enacted in 1879 under the name “Dominion Day.” In fact, the formation of the union of provinces under a new country is the basis of
Canada’s July 1 celebration each year.
However, the ‘Dominion Day’ changed into ‘Canada Day’ on
October 27, 1982.
The official lyrics “O Canada” were finalized in 1968 by a special joint committee of the Senate and House of Commons. This day also marks the anniversary of the officially proclaimed “O Canada” as national anthem. The Royal anthem plays ‘God Save The Queen’ at some festive locations celebrating Canada Day.
The celebrations will be all over Canada. Similarly, Surrey, BC has its own celebration features that include the world-class entertainment, great food, games and amusement rides, and indeed a spectacular fireworks finale. Surrey Canada Day will be held at the same venue as last year, the newly-named Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre. Cloverdale
Pakistan Canada Association planed to celebrate 151st Canaday Day and Eid Picnic celebration on June 24 at Crescent Beech Park South Surrey.
Pakistani Candian Cultural Associations arranged on July Ist at Crescent Park South Surrey.
The BC Muslims Association celebrating Eid Bash and Canada Day on July Ist at Masjid Al-Salaam Burnaby.
And in all above events people would celebrate the special day by joining BBQ parties and enjoying the fireworks all over the country.
Indeed, the event serves as a good bridge to facilitate Muslims to build ties with Canadians of other faiths.
Despite the insurmountable difficulty, a tolerance level among the members of multi-cultural society is a real blessing, as it has been playing a big role in promoting diversity in schools, work places, businesses and academic institutions. Of course, the credit goes to millions of motivated immigrants who kept building this nation to make Canada an attractive country to live peacefully.
Every year, tens of thousands of Canadians celebrate Canada Day in grand style in the nation’s capital flocking to Parliament Hill to join with the Governor General, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages.
Of course, the Canadians are entitled to celebrate their legacy, pride and opportunities.
In nutshell:
Parliament Hill is the focal point for Canada Day celebrations, with a giant stage featuring Canadian performers throughout the day, the noontime playing of Oh Canada and a flyby by Canada’s Snowbirds aerobatics team and other military aircraft.
Certainly, Canada Day unites all Canadians regardless of creed, culture or ethnicity; it helps us understand the significance of the Canadian life. In other words, it brings us together, strengthens our communities, and helps us understand the significance of the Canadian life.
As Canadian history reflects the wonderful diverse cultural races, the importance of celebrating Canada Day means a lot to all Canadians.
For happy “Canada Day” celebrations, Canadians and the government must be on one page, and the media should play its role without bias to promote love and affection among all.
As the Liberal party of Canada is surviving to resume power, the respect and image of Canada among the international countries is finally normalising faster than previously thought. Credit goes to the Trudeau-government for being really pro-people without bias/discrimination.
Long Live Canada!
