🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! Celebrating Canadian Independence, Identity & Its Role in Niagara Falls 🌊🎆
🇨🇦 Why We Celebrate Canada Day — And What It Means in Niagara Falls
On July 1, 1867, Canada officially became a self-governing dominion through the British North America Act, uniting four provinces and laying the foundation for a peaceful, democratic nation.
Canada’s journey toward full independence continued until 1982, when Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau brought home the Constitution, creating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms—a defining document that guaranteed civil liberties for all Canadians.
🍁 Key Milestones in Canadian History
